For older adults
Age increases the risk of severe RSV illness. Vaccination can lower the chance of serious outcomes.

For Eligible Adults Under BC's Program
Which RSV vaccine route fits you?
Funding depends on the person and the vaccine. We can help you check the right route before you book.
BC-funded older-adult program
Starting September 29, 2026: adults 75 and older, plus First Nations, Métis and Inuit adults 60 and older. People who previously received any RSV vaccine are not eligible for another dose through this program.
First Nations pregnancy benefit
For the 2026 to 2027 RSV season, First Nations Health Benefits covers Abrysvo for eligible First Nations people who are 28 to 36 weeks pregnant. This is a separate benefit.
Ask the pharmacy to check your benefit and vaccination timing.
Private-pay vaccination
If you do not qualify for either funded route, ask a pharmacist whether an RSV vaccine is recommended for you. Product availability, price and any private insurance coverage should be checked before booking.
The final vaccine recommendation and funding check happen with a pharmacist. Please do not send personal health details through the website.

Why RSV protection matters
RSV is a common respiratory virus. Most infections are mild, but RSV can lead to serious lung illness in people at higher risk.
For infants
Vaccination during pregnancy can pass protection to a baby. This uses a different RSV vaccine and has its own timing and coverage rules.
One conversation
A pharmacist can review your age, health history, prior RSV vaccination and coverage before recommending a vaccine.
Protection can begin before birth
RSV vaccination during pregnancy can help protect a baby after birth. It uses a different vaccine from BC's publicly funded older-adult program. A pharmacist can review the right timing and whether a coverage benefit applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have already received an RSV vaccine?
Only one dose is currently recommended for older adults. A previous dose of any RSV vaccine makes someone ineligible for the BC-funded older-adult dose. Tell the pharmacist which vaccine you received and when.
Is RSV vaccination free for everyone over 60?
No. BC's program covers all adults 75 and older and First Nations, Métis and Inuit adults 60 and older, subject to the program rules. Others can ask a pharmacist about privately purchased vaccination.
Is the pregnancy vaccine part of BC's older-adult program?
No. Abrysvo is the vaccine used during pregnancy. Eligible First Nations people who are 28 to 36 weeks pregnant may have its cost covered through First Nations Health Benefits. A pharmacist can check eligibility and timing.
Can I get an RSV vaccine with my flu or COVID-19 vaccine?
Co-administration may be possible. Tell the pharmacist about your other planned vaccines so they can advise you on the right timing.
