RVS vaccine side affects

From the NHS website: "Symptoms of RSV usually start within a few days of getting infected.

Most people only get cold-like symptoms, such as:

a runny or blocked nose
sneezing
a cough
tiredness
a high temperature – signs include your back or chest feeling hotter than usual, sweatiness and shivering (chills)."

I read up on it, and it appears to be a vaccine (with a fancy name) against catching a cold! So I'm going to pass. I haven't had a cold in forever.

I hadn't heard of it until I read the other thread this morning, but I have just received an Email offering it to me.

Oh well I ll be too old next year so guess it’s not for me none of my friends seem to have heard of it

We've both had the RSV jab with no ill effects. I agree with Grayling1 Hope You've already been in touch with your GP practice.

Myself and two of my friends have had it with no side effects. I would suggest you give your surgery a ring and ask to speak to somebody about your side effects. I got a leaflet from the nurse quoting side effects but I just binned it a couple of days ago!

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Vaccination now available in Scotland and rolling out to the rest of the UK from 1st September. Initially for 75-79 age group and the clinically vulnerable.

it's for a respitory virus..it seems it's only given to people between 75 and 79...people 80 and over don't get it. pregnant women get it to protect the baby...
