The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) has recommended passive immunisation and vaccination against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) for infants, children, and older adults. The committee advises the government on vaccination strategies and has proposed an immunisation plan for infants and older people, aiming to protect the most vulnerable. Two forms of passive immunisation for infants and two forms of RSV vaccination for older adults have been approved by NIAC. The recommendation is seen as a significant milestone for patients in Ireland and is expected to reduce the burden of RSV. The Asthma Society of Ireland also supports the recommendation and looks forward to offering protection to all at-risk people.
