Vaccinations
Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent catching and spreading infectious diseases and they prevent up to 3 million deaths worldwide every year.
RSV Vaccinations
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds.
It usually gets better by itself, but it can be serious for some babies and older adults.
From September 2024, a new vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) will be available to older adults aged 75-79 years old, and to pregnant women (from 28 weeks) to protect their baby.
Information on vaccines
Vaccines reduce the risk of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defences to build protection. When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds.
