Details

The RSV adult vaccination programme was introduced in England in September 2024 as a single-dose vaccine for adults turning 75 years old, with a catch-up programme covering those up to 79 years of age.

The older adult programme forms part of a wider strategy to protect vulnerable populations, which includes vaccination of pregnant women to prevent severe RSV infection in infants.
