Since I spoke with a Medical advisor from Pfizer today I decided not to get it. I have been suffering from Latex allergies since 1997 and I get the anaphylactic reaction if I somehow get in contact with it. The RSV injection does not contain any Latex components according to this medical advisor but during its manufacturing process it cross-contaminates with Latex because they use Latex gloves and other Latex gear to manufacture it. She said that is my decision but that my risk is higher.
It is a catch 22 but ly anaphylactic reaction is horrible.

Thanks so much for this information. I believe you convinced me to get the RSV shot. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
