Book your RSV vaccine appointment as soon as you’ve been invited

Eligible patients can book their RSV vaccine appointment at our surgery as soon as they receive an invitation.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that tends to circulate during the winter months, typically from November to February. While the symptoms are mild for many, RSV can be more severe in children under 5 and older adults.

RSV vaccine eligibility

  • Everyone turning 75 years old on or after 1 September 2024 will be offered a single dose of the RSV vaccine.
  • Individuals aged 75 to 79 are also eligible in the first year as part of a catch-up program.
  • Pregnant patients who are at least 28 weeks pregnant on 1 September 2024 will be offered the RSV vaccine, and eligibility continues up to birth.
