RSV Vaccination Drop-In at the RVI

Published on: 27 Sep 2024

RSV Vaccination Drop-In at the RVI

The RSV vaccination is now available at the RVI – no appointment needed.

Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a common cause of cough and colds. Most children get it at least once before they’re two, and it is usually not serious.

However, some older people and very young children can be at greater risk. RSV can cause lung infections such as bronchiolitis.

The new vaccine offers protection for older people and pregnant mothers.

Drop In

The drop-in clinic at the RVI is for pregnant woman. Getting vaccinated as soon as possible from 28 weeks will provide the best protection for your baby. 

🤰Maternity vaccination hub, Antenatal Department, Level 4, Leazes Wing,
📍Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI), Queen Victoria Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4LP
🗓️ Monday to Friday (not Bank Holidays)
🕘 9 am to 4 pm

No appointment is needed, but you can call 0191 2829939 to schedule an appointment.

From the 2nd February 2026 we are moving to a Total Triage model.

Total triage is how we manage appointments at our practice.
You will fill out a e-consult rather than calling the surgery and tell us about your problem.

Ideally, patients will submit their own request however we appreciate that this may not be possible for some patients. If you are unable to use or access the online form then please contact the surgery by telephone and we will complete the request for you, which will be added to the triage list to be reviewed by the GP.

A clinician will review your information and decide the best way to help you, which may be advice, a phone call, or an appointment.

We will have three types of appointments:

• Same day – for emergencies (A member of staff will contact you to book the appointment)
• Within 5 days – for patients that need to see or speak to a healthcare professional soon, but not urgently.
• Within 10 days – for routine appointments.

The main purpose of total triage is to make sure you receive high-quality care by getting the right advice or appointment for your needs as quickly as possible.

Please ensure you have completed the e-consult in full with as much information as possible.
