The NHS is set to broaden its RSV vaccination programme from September, extending eligibility to adults between 65 and 74 years old who suffer from chronic respiratory ailments or compromised immune systems.Those qualifying for the free jab include individuals managing conditions such as severe asthma, bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis, as well as patients whose immunity has been weakened by diabetes, blood disorders, or treatments including chemotherapy.The expansion follows guidance from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which identified these groups as facing heightened risks of severe illness from the virus.Eligible individuals will be able to receive their vaccination through their local GP surgery or, in certain areas, at high street pharmacies.
