I can’t get it because according to Pfizer Medical advisors, whom I called yesterday, that since I am allergic to Latex with anaphylactic reaction to it, the entire RSV packaging is cross-contaminated with Latex during its manufacturing process. Latex gloves and gear are used during the process.
On the other hand, RSV has existed for decades. While I was working as a Medical Technologist, I used to test babies for RSV constantly in the 70’s, since it was very common in babies and still is. At that time masks were not used inside the laboratory, only necessary precautions were required to obtain the nasal samples so these could not get contaminated with anything else.
There was no RSV vaccines in the 70’s.
So as an advice for anyone who suffers from Latex allergies, talk to your physician and express your concerns. You can also call Pfizer and ask for their Medical Advisor Center, they were very informative.
