RSV Vaccines

Adults aged 60 years and older – RSV causes many hospitalizations in patients 60 years and older. If you have heart or breathing problems, or over the age of 60, talk with your provider about getting the vaccine against RSV.

Pregnant People – RSV can cause a severe lung infection in babies especially in the first year of life. If you are pregnant you can help protect your baby from RSV and the complications it causes by getting vaccinated against RSV. Talk with your provider to see if the RSV vaccine is right for you.

Infants – RSV immunizations are available for infants. They can help prevent baby hospitalizations due to RSV complications. Talk with your pediatrician to see if this immunization is right for your baby.
