Rsv vaccine for prem baby

Has anyone done the RSV jab privately? I had a 31 week baby boy in June with breathing chronic lung disease for the first two months of his life. He's 5 months actual/3 months corrected as we head into cold/flu season. With my first (also 31 weeker) I just kept her away from people with coughs and colds, but with her now 4 and just about to start school that will be impossible this time around, so wondering what options there might be to help protect him (he's not eligible for the rsv jab on the nhs). Thanks in advance!

Do you mean Synagis? I don't know anyone who had it done privately because the price is so prohibitive and it needs to be done once a month. If you can afford it, I would speak to your paediatrician about it.
