Following its introduction for pregnant people in Australia last year, the RSV vaccination is now recommended in each pregnancy. 

MVEC has accordingly updated our ‘Vaccines in pregnancy’ A4 flyer. 

To read the recommendation in full, visit Australian Immunisation Handbook: Pregnant women are recommended to receive an RSV vaccine during each pregnancy to protect their infant. 

For more information, visit MVEC: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and MVEC: Maternal vaccination.

 

MVEC acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which we live, work and educate. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
We are committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas.
