National RSV vaccination programme announced

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

The UK will become the first country in the world to have a national programme that uses the same vaccine to protect both newborns and older adults against RSV.

The rollout, which will start from 1 September 2024 in England, includes a vaccine for pregnant women over 28 weeks to help protect their newborn babies, a routine programme for those over 75 and a one-off campaign for people aged 75 to 79. These are the groups at the greatest risk from RSV, based on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

If you are eligible you will shortly be sent a self booking link 

Vaccinations begin in September 2024
