RSV immunisation for babies under 8 months
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunisation
The WA Department of Health provides free respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunisation for eligible groups.
From 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2024, nirsevimab will be offered to eligible children born on or after 1 October 2022
While the program is available until September, providers are urged to prioritise immunisation in April and May to ensure children whom are eligible receive the nirsevimab prior to or at the start of the RSV season
This program is delivered through participating birth hospitals, general practices, Aboriginal Medical Services, and community health immunisation clinics. Nirsevimab is not offered through community pharmacies.
