What is RSV?
RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common virus that affects the lungs and airways. For most healthy adults and children, it causes mild cold-like symptoms. However, it can lead to serious respiratory illness in:
- Babies under 6 months, especially premature infants.
- People over 75.
- Those with long-term lung or heart conditions.
- Individuals with a weakened immune system.
Why Get the RSV Vaccine?
Thanks to medical advancements, RSV prevention is possible with a vaccine. The RSV vaccine helps lower the risk of severe infection and complications, especially in vulnerable groups.
We offer RSV vaccination for adults, including:
- Pregnant women (between 28 and 32 weeks) to protect their newborns from birth.
- Adults aged 75 to 79, or those who turned 80 after 1 September 2024
- RSV vaccine private appointments are available for those not eligible on the NHS.
RSV Vaccine in Pregnancy
If you’re pregnant, the RSV vaccine during pregnancy offers protection to your baby for the first few months of life when they’re most at risk. It’s recommended by the NHS and is safe for both you and your baby.
NHS and Private RSV Vaccination
Some groups may be eligible for the respiratory syncytial virus vaccine on the NHS, depending on age or health status. Not sure if you’re eligible? Our expert team is happy to help.
We also offer the RSV vaccine privately, with personalised care for those who don’t qualify through the NHS.
