NEW RSV Vaccination

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms during the winter months. Babies under one year of age and older adults are at the greatest risk of hospitalisation with more severe respiratory disease.  There is a significant burden of  RSV illness in the UK population which has a considerable impact on NHS services during winter months. From 1st September 2024 individuals will be offered a single dose of the RSV vaccine following their 75^th birthday.  Individuals will remain eligible for the vaccine until the day before their 80^th birthday and will not be eligible thereafter. The RSV vaccine will be offered to eligible adults all year round. The vaccination will also be offered to all women who are at least 28 weeks pregnant.

We have clinics on Tuesday 3^rd September and Tuesday 17^th September. There will then be additional clinics once we have completed the flu clinics in October.
