Rsv vaccine

Does anyone have any research or and idea where to go to look into this I don’t know where start? I’m usually someone who will just take all the vaccines when offered I had a baby a couple of years ago and this wasn’t a thing then. I’m so unsure what to do for for right and wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️
