RSV vaccine?

Hey all, Ive had my whooping cough and flu vaccine but I’ve seen a lot of people opting out of the RSV vaccine. Of course I’ll do my own research but I was just kind of told this is when you need to have it and how to book it without anymore information. So I’m basically wondering, if your opting out what’s the reasons? Genuine curiosity before I make my decision on whether I have it ☺️

Im not getting any of them. Same as my last preg.😍 Do loads of research. Ask for the inserts for then and read them including all side effects etc then make up your own mind about what you feel is right for you and your baby

@Kirsty each to their own of course (genuinely) but I'm feeling grateful at the moment because I had the new covid jab and my whole family currently have covid and I'm fine! It's done its job for sure.

I have had all of them personal choice and also I will be having my RSV one as have seen a few little ones nearly pass from it . I did alot of research on it . I think its personal choice if I am really honest my best advise is when looking at research look at credible sources ie NHS xx

@Rachel yup each to their own. We lived in the pandemic etc never had covid and never had the vax. While we watched those around us get sick after the vax etc im grateful to not have that experimental shot in my body.

I had my flu ,covid and whooping and I’ll be having the RSV too , my whole family was poorly a few weeks ago and thankfully I didn’t get poorly this is my 3rd pregnancy and I’ve had all the vaccines in my last 2 except the RSV Ofcourse x

I am getting all of them. Same as last pregnancy and no problem. 🙂

At the moment I’ve opted out from having it because it’s only been offered to pregnant women since September last year so it’s put me off. However I do plan to do more research about it and may opt into it once I’m further along. But I’m not sure yet x

I’m concerned about how new it is. What happened before this shot? Did they give the shot to the baby instead? Or this is the first time they’ve offered any kind of immunisation for it?

@Kirsty do you feel the same about infant vax? I’m in 2 minds.

@Dominique this is the first time. RSV is a killer, I'm glad they developed this, it's a big relief.

@Laura yes and more than happy to chat to you more if you have any questions. I think everyone should ask for and read thoroughly the inserts and look at the shedules and how they have dramatically increased and the consequences of that then make their own minds up. Just dont let anyone bully you either way. X
