What is RSV?
If you took all the jabs on offer you'd have more holes in you than the dart board at the White Horse.

I'm booked in for mine on Sat 28th, at 78 if it helps me stay healthy it's a good thing.

I am a bit too young to get it for a few years yet :lol: but if it was offered I would take it.

I am in for the Covid / Flu jabs on the 5th of October.

I think Mrs O is entitled to the RSV jab, but I'm slightly "younger" therefore not yet.
Because it's anti-respiratory infection, it makes sense with our medical history to take it up when offered.

Here's the Gov . uk link for those who might be interested:

Covid and flu jabs booked in for 12th October. :D

PS - if you're entitled to a shingles jab and haven't had it yet, do consider it. Shingles is a nasty, debilitating thing to catch in later life. We've both had the vaccinations, but I've seen some talk recently you may need to get a booster .....

Absolutely! Not qualifying for this one yet, but both Mick and I are booked in for the 65+ covid and flu jabs in October! I have also had the shingles one, but Mick didn't quite qualify as he's slightly younger.

Never heard of it.

We're not having the covid jab this year, just the flu one, when we get called.
