    Free vaccinations for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) will be available to older Australians from next month, amid concerns about people catching the potentially serious virus from their grandchildren or in aged care.

    All Australians aged 75 and older and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 60 and over will be able to receive the free vaccine from May 15.

    The expansion of the federal government’s free vaccination program, which provides the vaccine to pregnant women, comes ahead of winter, which is the peak season for infection.

    Older people face heightened risk from RSV, which is a common respiratory virus that can require hospitalisation or in some cases cause death in vulnerable people.

    The federal government has invested more than $440 million to provide the RSV vaccine Arexvy through the National Immunisation Program.

    A routine inspection of the tower clock at the historic Holy Trinity Cathedral in Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli, has led to a remarkable revelation: the 171‑year‑old timepiece predates London’s iconic Big Ben by five years. Antique clock collector Robert Kennedy and master clocksmith Nagaraj, invited by the church to assess the clock’s failing chime, found that the mechanism was manufactured in 1854 by John Moore & Sons of Clerkenwell and installed in 1855 making it possibly the oldest functioning tower clock in India.
