RSV jab

[Oidra]

My computer has not been showing Health unlocked for a while so I am not aware if this issue has already been discussed. Apologies if it has. I am 84 , 80 is the cut off date to get the RSV jab but my daughter feels that because I have PBC and Sjogrens with a compromised immune system , it should be available for all PBC patients. Has anyone else questioned this?

The CDC recommends the RSV vaccine for adults 75 and older, and for adults 60–74 who are at high risk of severe RSV. The CDC also recommends the RSV vaccine for pregnant women.

Adults

All adults 75 and older should get the RSV vaccine

Adults 60–74 should get the RSV vaccine if they have a high risk of severe RSV

Risk factors include chronic heart or lung , a weakened immune system, diabetes, or living in a nursing home

I hope this helps, Oidra. What harm can it do especially having a weakened immune system from PBC.
