RSV vaccine and pregnancy

Posted by jayachak6 @jayachak6, 5 days ago

Any feedback on RSV vaccine during pregnancy, what are some symptoms experienced ? How does it compare to the Covid vaccine ?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Health Support Group.

I don't believe any pregnant woman should ever take a vaccine of any kind.

@jayachak6, good question.

This is what Mayo Clinic would like you to know:
“In general, vaccines that contain killed viruses, also called inactivated viruses, can be given during pregnancy. Vaccines that contain live viruses aren't recommended during pregnancy.

RSV is a virus that spreads easily and can be dangerous for babies. The RSV vaccine Abrysvo is recommended if you're 32 to 36 weeks pregnant during the fall and winter. That's because the virus spreads mainly during this time.

Congratulations! When is the baby due?
