RSV Vaccination

RSV Vaccination Service Now Available at New Milton Pharmacy

🦠 What is RSV?

RSV is a widespread respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms such as:

• Runny nose, sneezing, or nasal congestion
• Cough and sore throat
• Fever
• Fatigue or wheezing (in more serious cases)

While most people recover within a week or two, RSV can cause serious complications, particularly in:

• Babies under 6 months old, who are at risk of bronchiolitis and breathing difficulties
• Adults aged 75 and above, for whom RSV may lead to hospitalisation or even be life-threatening
• People with weakened immune systems

👥 Who can receive the RSV vaccine?

You may be suitable for the RSV vaccine if you are:

• Aged 60 years or older

This vaccine is not suitable if you:

• Are under 60
• Have had a serious allergic reaction to a vaccine in the past
• are suffering from acute severe febrile illness (the presence of a minor infection is not a contraindication for immunisation);

A brief consultation with our pharmacist will be conducted beforehand to ensure the vaccine is appropriate for you.

💉 About the RSV Vaccine

• We use licensed RSV vaccines such as Arexvy® or Abrysvo®, depending on your age and clinical needs
• Only a single dose is required to provide protection
• The injection is given in the upper arm
• Side effects are typically mild and may include soreness at the injection site, fatigue, or fever

📞 How to Book

At New Milton Pharmacy, we offer private RSV vaccination. This is a high-value, special-order vaccine that we do not routinely stock.

You can book your appointment using the booking system on this page.

Before your appointment , we will need to discuss your eligibility and interest in receiving the vaccine. If you decide to go ahead, we will order the vaccine for you ahead of your appointment for the injection.

➡️ Next step:

Please call the pharmacy on 01425 613 971 to discuss this and make payment or deposit. This helps us reduce vaccine waste and ensures your dose is reserved specifically for you.

We’ll be happy to answer any questions you have during the call.

💬 Why get vaccinated privately?

While the NHS now offers the RSV vaccine to:

• Pregnant individuals (from 28 to 36 weeks)
• Adults aged 75 to 79 years

…many individuals fall just outside the NHS criteria but may still benefit from protection. Our private service is a safe and convenient way to access RSV immunisation if you’re eligible but not covered by the NHS.
