RSV Vaccine - The Pharmacy Bebington
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common infection that can affect people of all ages but is most risky for babies, older adults, and those with weaker immune systems. Protecting yourself with the RSV vaccine reduces severe illness and complications. Our pharmacists provide a private RSV vaccine service that is simple, safe, and convenient.
Why is RSV Vaccination Important for All Ages?
Every winter, RSV leads to thousands of hospital admissions across the UK. According to the NHS, RSV is one of the leading causes of chest infections in children under two, and it can also be very serious in older adults. By opting for the RSV vaccination, you lower your risk of breathing difficulties, hospital stays, and other complications linked to this infection.
What is the RSV Vaccine? Who Needs It?
The RSV vaccine protects against severe infection caused by respiratory syncytial virus. It works by helping your immune system recognise the virus so your body can fight it more effectively.
