RSV vaccines contain the virus's recombinant F protein, which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies without causing infection. Both are safe for seniors. In addition, both vaccines have been reimbursed since October 1, 2025.
Any adult can get vaccinated at a pharmacy and the service is free of charge.
Abrysvo is free of charge for pregnant women and seniors over 65 years of age. Reimbursed for people over 60 years of age (price PLN 408.86), and for adults under 60 years of age - fully paid (price PLN 817.72).
Arexvy is free for seniors from 65 years of age, reimbursed for people between 60 and 65 years of age (price 408.86 PLN) and fully paid for people between 50 and 60 years of age (price 817.72 PLN). This vaccine is not used in pregnant women and people under 50 years of age.
Therefore, seniors can get vaccinated for free in pharmacies, all they need is a PESEL number.
