RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common virus that can affect people of all ages, but it can be more serious as we get older, especially for those over 50 or with underlying health conditions.
As we move into the cooler months, it’s a good time for our community to think about staying well and protecting each other.
✔️ RSV spreads easily through coughs, sneezes, and close contact
✔️ Symptoms can include a runny nose, cough, fever, and difficulty breathing
✔️ Simple steps like handwashing and staying home when unwell can help reduce spread
For those aged 50 and over who may be at higher risk, there are now vaccination options available to help protect against severe RSV illness. Having a conversation about your risk and whether vaccination is suitable can make a real difference to your health this season.
If you’re over 50 and unsure about your risk, our pharmacy team is here to help with personalised advice. We’re proud to support our local community with trusted, professional care.
