Adult Vaccinations - Covid, RSV, Shingles and Pneumococcal

NEW RSV Vaccination

From 1 September 2024, those who turn 75 and those age 75 to 79 will be eligible for a free vaccine to protect them from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

RSV is an infectious disease of the airways and lungs. RSV infection often causes symptoms similar to a cold, including:

  • cough
  • sore throat
  • sneezing
  • a runny or blocked nose

You'll be able to get the vaccine if:

  • you're aged 75 to 79
  • you're 28 weeks pregnant or more – this will help protect your baby for the first few months after they're born

We will be holding clinics for the RSV vaccine in Sept.
