I was happy to see your response in regards to vaccines! I have too many health issues and immune suppression to just disregard vaccines!
I just won’t take more than one or two at a time!
On my last pcp visit a week ago I had my flu vaccine with no problems other than a sore arm. I’m also behind in my vaccines, I need pneumonia, RSV, and my 10 year tetanus. (I’ve decided not to take the Covid vaccine). I was glad to see that you had no issues with the RSV vaccine which is a new one for me, never had it. So I will be working on getting my vaccinations up to date—next up: pneumonia vaccine (needed for my asthma and lung issues)!!
Wishing you and everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. ❤️⛄️

I waited two weeks between my RSV, Covid and flu shots. I think next time I will wait three to four weeks between them. Please talk with your doctor about the sequence of shots based on your other health issues. We put RSV first for me because there is no drug treatment for RSV currently. RSV is also a raspatory infection somewhat like pneumonia but different. My understanding is RSV vaccination is once and done, not an annual vaccination with boosters.
May you also have a wonderful holiday season!
