In the case of seniors, a pharmacist at a pharmacy, after verifying the PESEL number and the patient's insurance status, can issue a reimbursed pharmaceutical prescription for a free Abrysvo vaccine for seniors, as part of the Medicines 65+ program or with a 50% discount for a person between 60 and 65 years of age. The vaccine will then be administered at the pharmacy as soon as the prescription is issued. The vaccine administration service is paid – usually about PLN 30-50, depending on the price list of a given pharmacy.

Other adults can also get a prescription for the RSV vaccine and get vaccinated at a pharmacy. However, they will pay 100% for the drug - the drug is non-reimbursed for people between 18 and 59 years of age.

Pregnant women will receive the vaccine free of charge at the pharmacy, but a prescription with the appropriate authorization must be issued by a gynecologist, primary care physician or authorized nurse.
