What is RSV?
RSV is a major cause of respiratory illness, particularly dangerous for infants and the elderly.
The virus can lead to pneumonia and infant bronchiolitis, requiring hospitalisation and intensive care in severe cases.
This new vaccine offers huge opportunities to prevent severe illness in those most vulnerable to RSV, helping to protect lives and ease winter pressures for the NHS.
We strongly encourage women who are 28 or more weeks pregnant to speak to their maternity service or GP surgery to ensure their baby is protected, and those aged 75 to 79 to come forward for their vaccine when they are invited from September.
Please speak to our reception staff for more info on how to book your vaccination
