I think this is fantastic news! If you are at least 28 weeks pregnant by Sept 1st this year you are eligible for an RSV vaccine to protect your baby.

This is excellent news! Last pregnancy my son was born into an RS spike and I was advised to keep him away from other kids as much as possible. It's a very scary disease in young babies. I'll be getting the vaccine this time!

If I’m only 20 weeks on 1st sept, do I not get it this year?

I would assume you would get it once you reach 28 weeks

I'm due in August so won't get it but so glad they're bringing this in. think it's insane they haven't already

After Sept 1st, you become eligible once you turn 28 weeks!

Ah thanks, sorry, fuzzy brain today.
