Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) Vaccination

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. It usually gets better by itself, but it can be serious for some babies and older adults.

If you’re aged 75 to 79, your GP surgery will contact you about getting vaccinated. Please wait to be contacted.
