What is RSV
RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common respiratory infection that can cause serious illness in older adults, people with long-term health conditions, smokers, and pregnant women. It spreads easily through coughs, sneezes, and close contact.
A single-dose RSV vaccine helps your immune system fight the virus and reduces the risk of severe symptoms, hospitalisation, and complications. It is recommended for Adults aged 60+, people with heart/lung/immune conditions as well as Pregnant women between 28–36 weeks (to protect both mother and newborn).
