Did you know respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the main causes of lung infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia?

All adults aged 75 and over can now get the RSV vaccine for free on the NHS. A single dose provides good protection for a few years.

The RSV vaccine is also offered on the NHS to pregnant women from 28 weeks of pregnancy to protect their baby from serious lung infection.
Find out more on the NHS website, or speak to your midwife: https://orlo.uk/NHS_NQps9

Book an appointment with your GP surgery to get your free RSV vaccine, or speak to a member of staff at the care home.
