We did the RSV shot last year and are fighting with the insurance to do it again. Our little one with CF ended up getting RSV even though she was on the shot.
I understand that the shot is SIMILAR to the flu shot in that "they" pick the RSV strain that they feel will be the most common and vaccinate against that for the season. Either Abby got a different RSV bug OR the shot did not work for her.
I had mixed emotions about doing it again, but we thought if insurance will cover it and since she is in daycare, it might be worth it just for that added protection. The clinic is really pushing for it as well.
Hope my experiences help!
