The RSV vaccination helps protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. RSV is a common illness that can make babies and older adults seriously ill.

Who should have the RSV vaccine

The free NHS RSV vaccine is available to:

  • pregnant women and birthing people who are 28 weeks pregnant or more
  • people who are aged 75 to 79
  • people who turned 80 after the 1 September 2024

How to get the RSV vaccine

If you’re pregnant you should be offered the RSV vaccine around the time of your 28-week antenatal scan. You can also speak with your maternity service, GP surgery and some participating pharmacies to arrange a vaccination appointment.

If you’re aged 75 to 79 (or turned 80 after 1 September 2024) you can contact your GP surgery or a participating pharmacy to book your RSV vaccination.
