A new vaccination can be offered to pregnant women from September 2024 to offer protection for their baby against RSV.
Getting vaccinated as soon as possible from 28 weeks will provide the best protection for your baby. But the vaccine can be given later if needed, including up until you go into labour.
From Monday 9 September our maternity team will run a drop-in vaccination clinic.
Clinic details
Our maternity vaccination hub is in the antenatal department, level 4 Leazes Wing, RVI.
The clinic runs Monday to Thursday from 8.30am to 7.30pm. On Fridays, it is open from 8.30am to 4pm. If you are planning to drop in after 4.30pm, give us a call first to let us know.
There is a drop-in option, or, you can call the vaccination team on 0191 282 9939 to arrange an appointment. The vaccination hub does not run on bank holidays.
The vaccine is available from 28 weeks gestation.
