BOOK YOUR RSV VACCINATION TODAY

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common, highly contagious virus that infects the airways and lungs. RSV spreads between people when an infected person produces small water droplets while talking, coughing or sneezing. The droplets can be inhaled by others or land on surfaces where the virus can live for several hours.

Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect against serious disease caused by RSV.

The National Immunisation Program (NIP) covers maternal RSV vaccinations which means that eligible women between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy can receive the RSV vaccine for free. 

In addition, the RSV vaccination is recommended for:

* infants and children under 2 years of age
* whose mothers were not vaccinated at least 2 weeks before delivery, or
* who are at increased risk of severe disease, or
* who have medical conditions or circumstances that increase their risk of RSV disease
* First Nations people aged 60 years and over
* people aged 60 years and over with medical conditions that increase their risk of severe RSV disease
* people aged 75 years and over.

** infants and children under 2 years of age whose mothers were not vaccinated at least 2 weeks before delivery should receive an RSV specific monoclonal antibody (not available from pharmacies). Speak to your pharmacist or medical practitioner for more information**
