RSV is a major cause of lung infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, and can be particularly dangerous for older adults leading to difficulty breathing and hospital admission.

The RSV vaccine helps to prevent severe illness in those most vulnerable to RSV, helping to cut the risk of being admitted to hospital and protecting lives.

If you are aged 75 and over, and have not already had the vaccine, get in touch and we can book you in. We will be doing a clinic day, date tbc
