A free RSV vaccination is now available for over 75s

If you are over 75, consider a free RSV vaccination

RSV or Respiratory Syncytial Virus is a common and highly infectious virus. This respiratory infection can be serious for both young children and older adults leading to hospitalisation and even death. 


The RSV vaccination has now been added to the National Immunisation Program. It is free for over 75s or for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders over 60 years. 


Speak to your GP about getting your free vaccination.
