Who is recommended an RSV vaccine:

Women at 28 to 36 weeks pregnancy are recommended to receive the maternal RSV vaccine (Abrysvo®) to protect their baby against serious illness from RSV. The vaccine is available to eligible
women for free through the National Immunisation
Program (NIP).

All adults aged 60 and over including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people aged 50 to 59 with medical risk conditions are recommended to receive Abrysvo® or Arexvy® RSV

through the NIP or state or territory programs.

Arexvy is effecive at preventing severe lower respiratory tract infection in adults aged 60 and over.
