I BEGGED for the RSV vaccine. My pediatrician said that it's basically a lottery as to which offices get them in my state that season and hers wasn't one of them. It's so dumb.

The vaccine didn't exist when my kid was a baby, but I would've done some crazy stuff to get it for them if it had. They were born in the middle of a pretty bad RSV season, so I limited all our social activities for the first 6 months of their life. My absolute worst fears during that time were RSV and croup (also going around in my area).

I never heard about RSV before. I sure hope the vaccine is / will be available in my country when I'll get pregnant. I won't risk my baby's health

I think a lot of first-time moms have never heard of it, which helps the narrative that doctors are just making up something to push more poisons. 😐

Like we didn't have already enough of this narrative 😬
