Parents in Kildare can now book online for the HSE’s RSV immunisation clinics, which run until the first week of October.
Parents of babies born from 1st March to 31st August can book an RSV immunisation appointment at a local community site on the RSV Immunisation page of the HSE website.
Appointments will only be available until the first week in October 2025.
HSE National Director for Health Protection, Dr Éamonn O’Moore, said: "Before the introduction of the programme, each winter, 4 out of every 100 infants were hospitalised due to RSV, with some infants needing special treatment in intensive care units. A further 50 out of every 100 infants got RSV and many needed medical care from their GP, or the emergency department of a children’s hospital."
He added: "The immunisation – called nirsevimab – is strongly recommended by the HSE and the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) and has been approved by the European Medicines Agency. Nirsevimab starts working as soon as the baby receives the injection and protects against RSV for 150 days, covering the very early period in a baby’s life when they are most vulnerable to serious RSV related illness."
