    Stay ahead of RSV, apply the latest recommendations and support vaccine uptake in your older patients.

    RSV in older adults is more than a seasonal virus and can lead to serious health outcomes if patients are left unvaccinated. With new vaccines now available, and recent Australian updates including free RSV vaccination for adults aged ≥75 years under the National Immunisation Program (NIP), GPs are central to prevention.

    This webinar, presented by GP Anita Muñoz and Professor Michael Woodward AM, will support identification of at-risk patients, outline current recommendations, and provide practical approaches to integrating RSV vaccination into routine care, with a focus on reducing adverse effects and optimising outcomes through team-based care.

    Ask us more! You’ll also get an opportunity to ask our experts your most pressing questions during the 30-minute open Q&A session as part of this webinar.
