​​​​​​​​RSV Immunisation programme (Ongoing) - UPDATED

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.  

​​

A new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination programme began on 1 September 2024, offered to older adults (75 to 79 years old) and to pregnant women to protect infants.

​​

Eligible patients have regularly received SMS messages from us. If you would like to receive your vaccine, please contact us to book in.

​​​

Advice for Pregnant women on how to protect your baby from RSV can be found here.​​

​​​

For all other vaccines (e.g. Pneumonia, Shingles), please contact the Surgery directly to check your eligibility and book yourself in.
