What Is RSV?

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) affects the lungs and airways. For most people, it causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But in some, it can lead to serious illnesses like pneumonia and bronchiolitis.

Like flu and COVID-19, RSV spreads more in colder months. But it isn’t just a winter virus.

Getting vaccinated reduces your risk and helps protect others.

Who Is Most at Risk?

RSV can be dangerous for:

Older adults – especially those over 75
Newborns – pregnant women who get vaccinated pass protection to their baby
People with long-term health conditions – such as heart or lung disease or a weak immune system

Why Get Vaccinated?

The RSV vaccine helps to:

Prevent serious illness – lowers the risk of lung infections
Reduce hospital stays – helps you stay well and out of hospital
Protect your baby – vaccination in pregnancy passes on immunity

Is the Vaccine Safe?

Yes. The RSV vaccine has been carefully tested and is both safe and effective.

Mild side effects, like a sore arm or slight fever, are possible but short-lived. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh any risks.

You can read more about the RSV vaccine, its ingredients and possible side effects on the NHS website.
