Starting this spring, infants aged six months and younger will have access to the vaccine before being discharged from hospital.
Yesterday, in a pre-budget type announcement, government committed $3.9M in new funding to make the RSV vaccine more available. RSV is a seasonal virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms, in most individuals, but can create health risks for infants and seniors. This money will provide eligibility for the publicly funded RSV vaccine to all infants under six months of age and adults aged 75 years and older.
Starting this spring, infants aged six months and younger will have access to the vaccine before being discharged from hospital. More details on how those aged 75 years and older will be able to get the vaccine are expected to roll out in the coming months.
