Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) What Is It?

RSV is an infectious disease of the airways and lungs. RSV infection often causes symptoms similar to a cold, including: cough, sore throat, sneezing, a runny or blocked nose. It can also make you become wheezy or short of breath and lead to pneumonia and other life-threatening conditions. There is no specific treatment, and most infections will get better by themselves. Every year thousands of older adults need hospital care for RSV, and some of them will die. RSV can be more severe in people with medical conditions such as heart or lung disease or a weakened immune system.

The RSV vaccine is recommended if:

  • you're pregnant – the vaccine is recommended during every pregnancy (from 28 weeks onwards) to help protect your baby after they're born
  • you're aged 75 to 79
