RSV vaccine

I took the RSV vaccine in 2023 and I get a covid and flu vaccine every year as well. I am 78 years old with autoimmune thyroiditis and heart disease. I have had Covid three times, but all were mild cases which I recovered from quickly after a couple of days of "misery." I've never had any reaction to the vaccines other than a mildly sore arm and some warmth at the injection site. I visit patients in a long-term, acute-care hospital as a volunteer chaplain and have seen terrible consequences of having covid and other respiratory illnesses. The patients often express regret for not getting the vaccine. They are often younger and healthier than I am. Don't mess with covid or RSV.
I also have had the shingles (Shingrex) and pneumonia vaccine. I've seen horrible cases of shingles and its aftermath. I"m thankful that these vaccines are available.
