RSV Vaccination - any opinions?

My DH was invited as soon as he was 75.

He had it with no side effects

Thanks Grannybags

crazyH What specific side effects are you scared about and what is your lung condition? I might be able to dig up some data to reassure you.

If you already have lung problems I think you should be first in the queue for this. I had mine with no problems.

I had mine a few weeks ago at the same time as the Covid booster, both in the same arm.
Felt a bit off but the sore arm was the site of the Covid jab.

LtEve. - a recent warning ‘a potential increased of Guillain Barre Syndrome’ - I have Adthma /Bronchiectasis and I am over 75

Sorry, , ‘increased risk’

I've had mine without any side effects. According to the Pharmaceutical society, it is a very small increased risk of 7 cases per million doses. Statistically you have more chance of dying in a car crash.

I was offered the RSV injection so read about what it was to achieve, why we were offered it who manufactured it and how it applied to me in my circumstances. We are all individuals, with different medical history and medications may affect us differently. I declined it but make no recomendations for or against it. I suggest you do your own research and/or speak to health care professionals.

I contracted RSV 24 years ago from a very poorly baby granddaughter. She recovered well before I did. Now as a 75+ asthmatic I was keen to have the jab. I had no ill effects.
