I recently had one of these, as did my husband. Both of us had quite bad reactions and felt ill and feverish all night on the night afterwards. I don’t usually react to vaccinations and even the dreaded double shingles one didn’t bother me much. I spoke to a friend who also said it was one of the worst reactions he had ever had. Anyone else experience this ? Should they warn people ?

We had no reaction at all. The RSV is a very important one. Wonder if it was the batch you had. Sorry you had that experience.

I was fine after RSV, but very sore arm for a few days after Shingles booster.

My late DH even though very frail this early summer time had no reaction and neither did I.
I always wonder if a bad reaction is a good thing as it shows your body is making a good immunity.
While and after having chemo and I had very compromised immunity, I had absolutley no reaction to covid jabs. However since my immune system is more robust now, I do get a day of feeling rubbish after covid and flu jabs.
But not after this years RSV jab apart from a slightly sore arm.

Maybe Australia got the rough end of the pineapple, as they say !
