Who needs the RSV vaccine this year?


Have you received the RSV vaccine yet? RSV is a potentially serious virus that can cause common cold symptoms, upper respiratory infections, or lower respiratory infections like pneumonia. Last year, the CDC recommended the RSV vaccine for infants, young children, and all adults aged 60 and older. This year, the guidance has changed. Now, the RSV vaccine is recommended for infants, young children, everyone aged 75 and older, and people aged 60 to 74 who are at higher risk for severe RSV, such as those with lung or heart disease or those living in nursing homes. If you’re an adult under 75 and not at increased risk, you can skip the shot for now. This update follows concerns about the vaccine’s rare association with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a condition that can cause paralysis.

  6. I am not yet 70, and though my husband is not in good health his dr. did not want to make him take the shot. He has had his shingles shot, pneumonia, and not sure what else. We stopped on the Covid boosters when the 3 shot put me past going for a day and he felt bad, too. I cannot afford to get down because of what I have to do.

  9. Here we call it the “flu vaccine”, I believe it is something similar. We take it every year, this year I already took my dose :)

  10. I do. My doc insists it is as important, if not more so, than the flu or Covid. Of course, I have compromised lungs so I will get them all.

  11. This was super helpful! I haven't taken my shot yet. It usually happens around August till January for us, which explains why I've been getting sick and catching colds randomly lately. Definitely a good reminder to check in on what's best for our health! x

  14. This is good information to know. Thankfully I do not fall within the risk categories, so I won't need one this year, but I do think I will encourage my mother to get one since she does.

  18. I’ve been seeing commercials about the vaccine. I know my grandkids have received the shot, but it looks like I can wait a while because I’m not close to 75🤓
