Certain high-risk adults aged 60 years and older may be eligible for the vaccine through the publicly funded program. 

High risk adults that are eligible for publicly funded RSV vaccine include the following:

1. Residents of long-term care homes, Elder Care Lodges, or retirement homes 
2. Individuals in hospital receiving alternate levels of care (ALC) including similar settings (e.g., complex continuing care, hospital transitional programs) 
3. Individuals receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis 
4. Recipients of solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplants 
5. Individuals experiencing homelessness 
6. Individuals who identify as First Nations, Inuit, or Métis 

Adults aged 60 years and older who don’t qualify for the publicly funded program can still purchase the vaccine with a prescription from their family doctor or other primary care provider.
