RSV – how to protect yourself

RSV vaccination

The RSV vaccine is recommended if:

• you’re pregnant (from 28 weeks of pregnancy) – this will help protect your baby for the first few months after they’re born
• you’re aged 75 to 79

The vaccine helps reduce the risk of RSV causing serious problems such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis.

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

If you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more, you can speak to your maternity service or GP surgery about getting vaccinated.
