Statement setting out advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) on the extension of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunisation programme for older adults.

JCVI advises that, as part of the RSV programme for adults aged 75 years and above, the one-off catch-up campaign be extended from adults aged between 75 and 79 years to also include:

adults aged 80 years and older

all residents in a care home for older adults

The committee agreed that RSV vaccines could be administered concurrently with COVID-19 vaccines.
