ABRYSVO- RSV Vaccine 2024

RICHD has a limited number of RSV Vaccines on hand. If RSV vaccine was obtained last year it is not needed this year.

RSV is not an annual vaccine. The CDC is still evaluating if additional doses would be beneficial in the future for those that have already received vaccine.

RSV vaccine is recommended for all persons 75 age and up and is also recommended for persons age 60 to 74 if persons in this age range have a chronic health condition that predisposes them to more significant risk of severe RSV illness.

For persons in 60-74 age group that request RSV vaccine we will ask that you fill out a short questionnaire self-attesting to chronic health conditions for RSV vaccine administration.

RICHD asks that prior to scheduling for RSV vaccination appointment that people contact their insurance to ensure coverage for this vaccine along with ensuring RICHD is a covered entity to receive this vaccine.

RICHD is enrolled in a program that will assist in paying for the Abrysvo vaccine for those who are underinsured and uninsured.

For more information and to schedule vaccine call 309-794-7080.
