You do not need to take any action until you are invited by your GP surgery. Please wait for your GP surgery to contact you.

Some community pharmacies in the East of England will also offer RSV vaccinations later this month. You can check if there will be pharmacy appointments in your local area at www.nhs.uk/book-rsv. Please note, pharmacy bookings are not currently available.

When you are offered an appointment, it’s important you get vaccinated as soon as you can, ahead of the colder months.
