Just had hospital appt for my bronchiectasis & asked my Consultant about RSV vaccines
He recommended that I should ..September time … but Apparently you can only get them privately at certain pharmacies
Has anyone had the vaccine? Want to know about side effects because I had a really bad reaction to the last Covid jab I had last September. Ended up in A& E with rapid heart rate
