NHS Borders Community Midwifery team will be discussing this at your antenatal appointment with the aim to vaccinate you at your 28/40 appointment. Please discuss the RSV vaccination with your Community Midwife
@grievesie1 @KerrySimmonds21
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory illness. It can cause severe illness and lead to people being admitted to hospital — especially babies and older adults.
The vaccine is the best way to get protected.

Too often, early childhood is only talked about in terms of later outcomes, as if securing the health and happiness of babies & young children has no inherent value.
I’m pleased the @PEDALCam & @UNICEF_uk framework captures the value of both “being” & “becoming” mentally healthy
