RSV

Everyone turning 75 years old on or after the 1 Sep 24 will be offered a single dose of RSV vaccine. This is because older adults are more at risk of serious complications from RSV.

The practice will contact you to invite all who are eligible.

You may be offered your shingles or pneumococcal vaccine at the same time as the RSV vaccine, it is safe to do so and reduces the number of appointments you will need to get protected from these diseases.
