Purpose and outline
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended the implementation of a new routine RSV single dose vaccination programme for older adults turning 75 years, who remain eligible for vaccination until they attain 80 years of age. A new routine RSV vaccination programme will be implemented from 1 September 2024 for those turning 75 years on or after this date.
A catch-up campaign for those aged 75 to 79 years on the 31 August 2024 will also be implemented. Those individuals aged 75 to 79 on 31 August 2024 will remain eligible for vaccination until they attain 80 years of age. This will be picked up automatically via GPES.
