It’s RSV Awareness Week. This week we’re highlighting that RSV (or respiratory syncytial virus) is not just a childhood virus.
For some older people, RSV can lead to pneumonia and the worsening of existing health conditions, resulting in hospital admissions and a sudden decline in health.
The good news is that free RSV vaccination is now available through the National Immunisation Program for adults aged 75 years and over, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 60 years and over.
This RSV Awareness Week, speak with one of our pharmacists about RSV protection. Don’t go unprotected.
