The risk of respiratory diseases such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) also increases with the cold season. Elderly people, people with pre-existing conditions and young children are particularly at risk. The MVZ Wiesloch now offers you the opportunity to protect yourself specifically and effectively with the RSV vaccination – conveniently during our regular laboratory opening hours without making an appointment in advance.
What is RSV and why is vaccination important?
The respiratory syncytial virus is a highly contagious pathogen that primarily affects the lower respiratory tract. In severe cases, pneumonia or shortness of breath may occur, especially in high-risk groups. RSV vaccination offers reliable protection and can help to reduce the spread and burden on the healthcare system.
Who should be vaccinated?
- People aged 60 and over
- People with chronic pre-existing conditions (e.g. heart or lung disease)
- Nursing staff and medical professionals
- Close contacts of infants or patients at risk
