Re: Synergis Shots -a question? - le

[Guest guest]

Hi le!

gets his RSV shots every 28 days, from Oct through May. He's grown

so much that it now takes two syringes, so he gets one shot in each thigh.

The only side effects he's had are bruising on his legs where he gets his

shots, and sometimes the area gets a little warm and swollen. Just like any

of the vaccine reactions.

Hope this helps!

I would like to add that, after being so sick the first year of life

(no synagis that year) my daughter didnt get sick for a single day

from anything last winter, so I am convinced (though not supported by

medical data) that it protects not against RSV but other bugs as

well. What I understand that syngagis is not a vaccine in the sense

that it does not contain live or dead virus, but is actually

concentration of antibodies. Thats why its needed for 28 days as the

antibodies in the system decay with time. I do believe its a wonder

drug and hope with time it will get cheaper and be given to more

infants.
