Overview of RSV vaccination programme

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory illness in the UK but is relatively unknown to the public.  On 1 September 2024, two new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination programmes will be introduced –

1) A programme to protect infants by vaccinating pregnant women (from 28 weeks)

2) A programme for older adults aged 75 to 79 years old

All adults turning 75 years old on or after 1 September 2024 will be eligible for the routine programme and will be offered a single dose of the RSV vaccine. A one-off catch-up campaign for those already aged 75 to 79 years old on 1 September 2024 will be undertaken at the earliest opportunity. We will invite patients as they become eligible.
