RSV Vaccination – you may be eligible
The RSV vaccine is available to:
- people aged 75 and over
- people aged 65 to 74 with a weakened immune system or a long-term lung condition, excluding well-controlled asthma (from 1 September 2026)
- people living in care homes for older adults, including residents under 75
These groups have a higher risk of serious illness from RSV. Research has shown that people with well-controlled asthma have a lower risk than people with some other lung conditions.
The vaccine is also available to pregnant women from around 28 weeks of pregnancy.
No vaccine is 100% effective. If you get RSV after vaccination, your symptoms are likely to be less severe.
To find out more pelase check the Government of Jersey website – https://www.gov.je/Health/ImmunisationsAndVaccines/VaccinationsForAtRiskAdults/pages/respiratorysyncytialvirusvaccine.aspx
We have dedicated RSV vaccination clinics running with our nursing team and if you are pregnant and wanted to go ahead please discuss with your midwife and it can be organised with your doctor.
Who can book a vaccination
