** NEW VACCINE PROGRAMME **

Respiratory syncytial Virus (RSV)

What is RSV?

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is an infectious disease of the airways and lungs. RSV infection often causes symptoms similar to a cold, including cough, sore throat, sneezing and 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. RSV infection is common in young children but is most serious for small babies and for older people

How does the vaccine work?

Almost all older adults will have had several RSV infections during their life. A single dose of vaccine will help to boost protection as you reach an age group at highest risk of serious RSV infection

Who should have the vaccine? 

Everyone turning 75 years old on or after the 1 September 2024 will be offered a single dose of RSV vaccine. This is because older adults are more at risk of serious complications from RSV. You can still get the vaccine up to the day before you turn 80.

For the first year of the programme, the vaccine will also be offered to those who are already aged 75 to 79 years on 1 September 2024 as part of a catch up programme.

Our reception team will soon be contacting everyone that is eligible by text message or phone. Clinics with our Practice Nurse will begin in September.

Clinics for other vaccines including FLU & COVID will be scheduled for October / November

Prescription Collections

Please allow 48 hours for all prescriptions to be issued from date of ordering. If  your prescription goes to a pharmacy please allow 3 working days from date of ordering. As this is a service provided by the pharmacy we have no control over the prescription once it has left us. 

 

If ordering your prescription via our practice website over the weekend ie after 4.30 on a Friday and 9am on a Monday, please be aware this will not be looked at until Monday afternoon, therefore you need to allow extra time before collecting at the surgery or your nominated pharmacy.

Please be aware that not all pharmacies collect from us on a daily basis, some only collect twice weekly, therefore prescriptions will take longer than the normal 3 working days. Please enquire with the pharmacy re collection days.
