NHS to Offer RSV Vaccine to Pregnant Women and Elderly This Autumn

New vaccination program aims to protect vulnerable groups from serious respiratory complications before winter.

Pfizer's Abrysvo vaccine will be available to those aged 75 and over and pregnant women from September 1.
The initiative targets high-risk groups, including premature babies and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Vaccinations will be administered through GP surgeries and pharmacies across England, with similar programs in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
The program follows recommendations from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health lauds the move as a significant advancement in child health protection.
