RSV vaccination rollout
The NHS has started vaccinating people against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). RSV is a leading cause of infant mortality around the world, is a common cause of coughs and colds but can lead to severe lung infections like pneumonia and infant bronchiolitis, which are highly dangerous to older people and young children. The NHS will be vaccinating pregnant women and older adults, including those turning 75 on or after 1 September.
