Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-Adults 2026-28
Purpose and outline
The aim of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination programme is to reduce the incidence and severity of RSV disease and reduce hospitalisation as a result of RSV disease in infants and eligible older adults.
All adults aged 75 years to 79 years, those in a care home for older adults and those who turned 80 from 01 Sept 2024 until 31 Aug 2026 should be offered RSV vaccination.
These are year-round, ongoing programmes. Practices are only paid for vaccinations carried out by the practice or sub-contracted by the practice, not for those given by other providers.
