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
