If you have a relative living in a Bromley care home, please speak with them and their care team about this winter’s vaccination programme and ensure that any consent forms are completed and returned promptly.
RSV vaccinations will be administered before 1 October, ahead of the flu and COVID-19 vaccination programme. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds and can have a significant impact on care home residents and clinically vulnerable individuals during the winter months.
You can find out more about the RSV vaccine by visiting: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/rsv-vaccine/
If you or your family member have not yet received a consent form, please contact the care home as soon as possible to request one. Once received, please complete and return the form to the care home at the earliest opportunity.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping to protect our residents this winter.
