RSV Vaccination is a preventive immunization that protects against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), a contagious respiratory virus that can cause serious illness in older adults and individuals with underlying health conditions. While RSV often causes mild, cold-like symptoms, it can lead to severe complications like pneumonia or hospitalization – especially in adults aged 50 and older who are at higher risk.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommend a single-dose RSV vaccine for all adults aged 75 and older, and for adults aged 50 to 74 who have certain chronic conditions or weakened immune systems. This vaccine is a safe and effective way to reduce the risk of severe RSV-related illness.

RSV Vaccination is given as a single intramuscular injection, usually in the upper arm. After vaccination, the body develops protective antibodies against the respiratory syncytial virus, helping to reduce the risk of severe illness if exposed.

It is best to receive the vaccine before the start of RSV season, which generally peaks in the fall and early winter months. Immunity develops within a few weeks of the shot. The vaccine does not cure RSV but significantly lowers the chances of hospitalization or severe complications, especially in high-risk adults.

1. Consultation and eligibility screening will be conducted.
2. Vaccination will be administered as a single intramuscular injection.
3. Observation period will be done.
4. Further recommendations and post-care instructions will be conducted.
