RSV shot

has anyones twins got the rsv shot??? are there side effects???? mine go finally today for there first shot...after a long battle with the insurance company

 

we got our first one a few weeks ago and i gave them tylenol before. the nurse said that the site can be sore but thats it

 

Got ours last Thursday. Gave them Tylenol about 1/2 hour before and a couple times after. Didn't notice any symptoms but I found it interesting that ours were sent to us with shots of epi in case they had an adverse reaction. Made me think of all those doctor shows where the heart stops and the doc shouts, give him a shot of epi. . . scary!

 

Unfortunately we did not qualify for the Synagis shot this season, but my girls got it monthly last year. They never had any side effects whatsoever. I'm glad you won the battle with your insurance company!!

 

Mine received the first shot a few weeks ago. No side effects to report.

 

Thank you.....I started them on TYlenol allready today then go tonight for there shot.....we won our case after 3 appeals.... the drs from the insurance company saying that my babies werent qualifed saying they have to be 6 months or younger at the time of RSV season which in there case its Nov....funny thing is the hearing was Nov 1 which technically there were still 6 months and Nov 4 they would be 7 months...so needless to say we won....haha

Wow, that's great, so happy you were able to win. Some of these qualifications are so silly. It's so important that they are protected.

Hugs,

 

We got them 2 seasons ago when the boys were just born. Never had a reaction at all. Not even any fussiness. Glad you can get them. :clapping:

Are you serious??? Of course you are, I am just horrified. Have you considered contacting the manufacturer? I would, and I would also make a huge fuss with the insurance. You have micro-preemies (I know you are aware of this fact lol!)... I was told they get the shots for years. You have a special situation maybe they "the manufacturer" would cover you... just a thought.
