RSV vaccine

[Twinkletwinklelil]

Is anyone having it? Any reservations?
I’ve been invited to have it but not sure if necessary!

I've stopped having covid jabs after my 1st booster. Also pregnant, had my Rsv one last week. IMO I think any vaccine which can provide immunity for baby is worth having but once we start getting onto booster 3, 4 etc I think it's a risk balancing exercise and I'd rather trust in my body's immunity by that point! My grandmother in law has had 9 😨

9!?! Oh my goodness!!

yes I feel like once we’ve had boosters why are we continuing

My son had RSV at 9 days old. What followed was a very traumatic 10 day stay in hospital being tube fed, on iv fluids and on oxygen. He suffered with asthma and chest infections throughout his childhood-- in part as a result of this.

I wouldn't hesitate -- get the vaccine.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

If you have shared your story on here before, then I just wanted to say you have changed how I manage bronchiolitis in my children, which may have saved my baby’s life. My toddler has had countless episodes of bronchiolitis / viral wheeze and gradually my threshold for taking him to the hospital became higher as the older he got, the more we could manage at home. When my then 2 month old became unwell with it, I genuinely believe I would have taken him in later than I did if I hadn’t read your story. He was in a bad enough way when we did go in, so waiting even longer wouldn’t have been good for him. So I just wanted to say that with my family at least, you have made a difference ❤️

The covid vaccine that is availabke now is not a booster!!!

it is given to vulnerable people including pregnant women to protect them from covid, the vaccine lasts 1 year, its not a booster its a vaccine that lasts for 1 year so those that need it get it yearly and those that have a temporary vulnerability like pregnancy are protected for a year!!
