Vinay, please give us your observations on the ADULT RSV vaccines too. I have held off on recommending until there was more safety data regarding new onset a-fib and guillain barre syndrome. I do not trust info from CDC anymore.

Yes please give us your take on the adult RSV vax. My two friends in their 80s received the shot and have been sick with URI symptoms, fatigue, dizziness and weakness for 2 weeks. They also received the “pneumonia” shot a couple days before, and a shingles booster same day as the RSV vax. This is crazy. These poor senior citizens are just blindly following their PCPs advice.
I had some patients come in, I'd ask if they had any questions, and then AFTER I gave the shot ask, "what is RSV anyway?" I learned to ask more specific questions.
No one comes in with any idea that its recommended (if that's even the right word in this case) only for 60+ AND high risk. We even had a complaint to the board when we refused someone.
Update: it’s now 3 weeks and my sweet friends are no better. They are not complainers- we have to pull information out of them. They now describe their arms and legs “not working right”, they’re sleeping excessively. These were 2 very active people prior to this. Both received the RSV vaccine the same day as shingles vax, and 4 days after a “pneumonia” shot.
Sounds like GBS is a distinct possibility. I’m getting very concerned.
