New RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Vaccine)
Posted on:
Eligibility for the RSV vaccination:
- Everyone turning 75 years old on or after the 1 September 2024 will be offered a single dose of RSV vaccine. This is because older adults are more at risk of serious complications from RSV. You can still get
the vaccine up to the day before you turn 80. - For the first year of the programme, the vaccine will also be offered to those who are already aged 75 to 79 years on 1 September 2024 as part of a catch
up programme. - If you are not yet 75 the NHS will invite you for vaccination once you turn 75
If you are eligible for the vaccine, we will send out an invitation with an information leaflet.
