How do I get the vaccine?
If you are eligible for the expanded RSV vaccine programme, your GP will contact you directly to arrange your appointment. The programme is set to begin on 1 September 2026, and only one dose of the Abrysvo® vaccine is needed. There's no need to proactively contact your GP or the NHS before then.
