RSV Vaccination Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccination Booking Information Vaccination Clinics Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccination RSV and the RSV Vaccine What is RSV? RSV is a common respiratory illness that can be found year-round but is most prevalent during the winter. While most people recover from RSV within 2-3 weeks, it can sometimes lead to severe lower respiratory infections such as pneumonia and other life-threatening conditions. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of people over the age of 75 being hospitalised due to RSV. RSV is also the most common reason that babies are admitted to hospital with respiratory (breathing) problems in Scotland.
