Reminder for RSV protection for those aged 75 and over
Alongside the launch of the spring COVID-19 vaccination campaign, from 1 April the NHS in Lincolnshire is also reminding people aged 75 and over, including those aged over 80, that they may be eligible for the RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine (previously only available to those aged 75-79), which helps protect against a virus that can cause severe respiratory illness in older adults.
“Vaccination remains one of our strongest tools for preventing serious illness. As we head into spring, we’re urging everyone who is eligible to take up the offer of a COVID‑19 booster and for those aged 75 and over to also make sure they’re protected against RSV,” explains Steve Clapton, Head of Immunisation & Screening, NHS Lincolnshire ICB.
“Your GP surgery may contact you about getting the RSV vaccine. However, if you haven’t heard from them and are eligible, you should contact them. If your surgery is offering the spring COVID-19 vaccine too, you can have both at the same time.”
