Why the RSV Vaccine Matters

At Pharmacy+Health, our RSV vaccination service provides convenient, local protection for those most at risk. If you’re eligible, you can get vaccinated quickly and professionally at your nearest branch – with no need to see a GP

RSV is seasonal and typically peaks in autumn and winter. It spreads easily through coughs, sneezes, and contaminated surfaces. While many people recover in a week or two, for those with weaker immune systems or pre-existing respiratory or cardiac issues, it can become life-threatening.

Recent data shows a rise in RSV hospitalisations, especially in older adults. The RSV vaccine offers targeted protection to reduce the risk of serious complications.

All our staff carrying out vaccinations have been trained and follow a prescribed process, to ensure your safety and comfort. If you do not like needles, please don’t be concerned and do mention it to our team when you visit. They will be able to provide reassurance and make the process as stress-free as possible.

Who is the RSV Vaccine Recommended For?

Our RSV vaccine is suitable for adults aged 60+ and for those with chronic health conditions, such as:

• Asthma
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Diabetes
• Heart failure
• Weakened immune systems

You will be assessed during a free consultation to confirm eligibility and discuss any medical history or medication concerns.

Not suitable for:

• Those with a severe allergy to any component of the vaccine
• Individuals with a fever or serious illness on the day of vaccination

RSV Vaccine Dosage and Pricing

The RSV vaccine is administered in one dose:​

RSV Vaccine (single dose): £220

The RSV vaccine is currently not available through the NHS for all adults, so our private service offers a way to access protection before the peak season.

When to Book

RSV infections usually increase in autumn through winter, so the ideal time to vaccinate is late summer to early autumn. This allows your body time to develop immunity ahead of seasonal spikes.

Appointments are quick and take place in your Pharmacy+Health private consultation room at many of our local community pharmacies.

How the Service Works

1. Free clinical consultation with one of our trained vaccinators to assess your eligibility and answer questions.
2. Vaccination is given as a single injection, typically in the upper arm.
3. You’ll receive clear aftercare advice, including information on possible side effects (mild redness, fatigue, or muscle aches).

Vaccines help protect you and others against diseases. We offer a range of vaccination services through convenient, bookable health appointments at many of our Pharmacy+Health branches.

Why We’re Providing RSV Vaccinations

Many of the conditions that we offer vaccines for, are very prevalent in the UK population and can make you feel very unwell or worse. The NHS typically offers these vaccinations but with eligibility criteria limiting their availability. Paying to vaccinate yourself, if you are not eligible, is an investment in your health and wellbeing.

Widely available across Yorkshire communities at Pharmacy+Health branches, this service provides convenient access to a range of vaccines, to protect you against specific diseases.

These vaccines may not be available through the NHS to all patients. With the symptoms and consequences of some of these common diseases being very serious, getting vaccinated through our paid-for service, can be a wise investment in your future health.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

1. Consultation: Our trained vaccinator will review your medical history and confirm your eligibility.
2. Vaccination: The vaccine will be administered in in your deltoid muscle.
3. Aftercare Advice: You’ll receive information on potential side effects and post-vaccination care.​
