Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common virus that can cause cold-like symptoms such as a cough, runny nose and sore throat. While RSV is usually mild, it can sometimes cause more serious infections such as pneumonia, particularly in older adults and people who are at increased risk.
At Cyncoed Pharmacy in Cardiff, we offer a private RSV vaccination service using Abrysvo. Vaccination can help protect against lower respiratory tract illness caused by RSV.

If you’re unsure whether the RSV vaccine is suitable for you, please contact us before booking.
The private RSV vaccination costs £220 per dose.
As the RSV vaccination is a single-dose vaccination, the full course is completed with one appointment.
Vaccination provides a way to help reduce your risk of serious RSV-related illness.
RSV is very common and often causes symptoms similar to a cold. However, it can sometimes affect the lower airways and lungs, causing more serious illness such as pneumonia. Older adults and people with certain underlying health conditions are more likely to experience complications.
For pregnant patients, the RSV vaccine helps pass protection to the baby before birth, helping to protect them from serious RSV infection during their first 6 months of life.
The RSV vaccine may be given alongside some other vaccines where appropriate. If you’re planning to have multiple vaccinations, please check with us before booking to ensure they can be given together.
As the RSV vaccination is ordered specifically for your appointment, please allow at least 2 working days between booking and your appointment to ensure your vaccine can be ordered in time.
Full payment of £220 is required for the RSV vaccination service to secure an appointment.
Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us keep our clinics running smoothly.
