About the NHS RSV Vaccination Programme
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory infection that's usually mild in healthy adults — but can be serious in older adults and very young babies. RSV is a leading cause of hospital admissions for respiratory infection in both groups.
The NHS RSV vaccination programme launched in autumn 2024. It's a single dose that provides lasting protection. The programme targets adults aged 75-79 (a one-off catch-up) and pregnant women from 28 weeks (to protect newborns).
