Respiratory syncytial virus, usually shortened to RSV, is a common respiratory virus that can cause mild, cold-like symptoms. While most people recover within a couple weeks, the illness can be severe for infants and older adults, sometimes requiring hospitalization.
Earlier this year, the CDC approved an RSV vaccine for adults, adding another shot to combat the “tripledemic” we were in last winter between COVID, the flu and RSV.
Unlike COVID and the flu, medical professionals are not encouraging everyone to get vaccinated against RSV. In fact, only a handful of the population should get this vaccine.
Here’s what to know about who should get the vaccine and when.
WHO SHOULD GET AN RSV VACCINE?
Only a small portion of the population should get an RSV vaccine.
• This includes people who are 60 and older who have compromised immune systems and/or heart problems who would be deeply impacted by a flu-like virus, said UNC Health’s Dr. David Wohl.
Is this ANOTHER EUA vaccine? THREE brand new vaccines out of thin air.
Another mRNA vaccine. Nope...
Not a McClatchy news person to offer such advice.
The latest verbiage, "tripledemic" as its' been repeated, is...
M A R K E T I N G
OMG, we are all going to die if we don’t get the latest EUA shot.
Pretty sure I have all the vaccines I need.
What if they have learnt all the lessons they needed in the first roll out and now this one actually works. What is currently circulating is gonna wipe out humanity they know it and the new vax is the only way.
People won’t take it because of misinformation on the first vax and lack of mandates this time.

Pass.
Nobody ...
No and hell no
NO ONE. 🚫😷💉🐴💩
Hard pass.
Nope. I’ll take my chances.
Probably EUA, but they don’t announce it, of course.
The RSV joke in the medical community is simple:
If you have RSV and have a culture and sensitivity done, you should get the results in 3/4 days.
The good news: most people are over RSV in a day or two.
I may have had it last Thursday and over it by Friday.
My wife may have it today, and she should be okay by tomorrow.
We are in our 80’s and not worrying.. The main symptoms are maybe a little fever and feeling blah all day.
A friend of my mom’s, over 60, no other issues that I’m aware of (but getting every shot she can ... COVID, boosters, now RSV), got the RSV shot last week. Two days after the shot, she was in the ER, then admitted due to problems breathing, low O2 sats. The diagnosis? RSV. She lives alone, wasn’t exposed to anyone but an adult daughter who is fine. She’s back home, but still feeling punk, wicked cough, O2 going up/down. She’s beginning to wonder if this isn’t a ‘reaction’ to the shot ...
You know DAMN well they are sneaking that into every single shot they can - covid, pneumonia, flu shot, shingles shot and whatever else they can.
They want Americans dead so the country can be give to others.
My 26 yr old twin daughters almost died of it when they were 6 weeks old. One got a brain injury from it because she was vomiting. She was on a ventilator for 8:days.
My other daughter was on a ventilator for a month. She has terrible asthma whenever she gets respiratory illnesses.
Last year, I got really sick from RSV. It went into a bacterial infection and then I got costochondritis for a few months.
I really want this to be a good vaccine because I could use some help from RSV.
Get another vaccine... didn’t get the jab for covid and I’ll NEVER get another vaccine ever.
“Who should get an RSV vaccination?
1) Only a small portion of the should get an RSV vaccine, .. including people who are 60 and older with compromised immune systems...
That rules out most of the population.
2) .....young children and PREGNANT PEOPLE can also be candidates for RSV vaccine...
PREGNANT PEOPLE??? Any person can get pregnant? No. Only. Women. Can. Get. Pregnant.
