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

In temperate climates such as the UK, RSV occurs regularly each year. Epidemics generally start in October and last for 4 to 5 months, peaking in December. The sharp winter peak varies little in timing or magnitude, in contrast to influenza virus infection which is much less predictable in its timing…

Above Copied off govt website.. it’s a respiratory virus that occurs every year & can be nasty

I had the RSV vaccine for the first time this year. I have emphysema and it was highly recommended. I had no side effects except for a sore arm

My husband and I both had the RSV vaccine in Oct. Neither one of us had any side effects except for a sore arm for a few days. My brother and his wife also had no significant side effects.
