RSV shots   Message List

Has anyone had their little ones get the RSV shot synegis? Sydney's
doctor has recommended her for it. She is 15 months old. We just
found out she will get 6 shots and it will cost us $500 per shot!!!
And that's just our portion of the cost not covered by insurance
(unbelievable - this must be the Lexus of shots). Am curious as to
whether your pediatricians also recommended this. I don't want to
skimp on her care however our doctor sounded like she was doing this
as a preventative measure based on the fact she had read these kids
are more prone to respiratory infections. Thought I would check with
this group to see if this is standard shot your kids get. Thanks.

Stephanie
