Re: [11q_disorders] RSV shots

How much does she weigh? I do know they are about $1000+ per shot and Faith needed 2 a month when she got older and weighed approx. 15 pounds. I did have to get the doctor to fight with the insurance company a couple of times, but they did cover it. Faith had no respiratory problems but had the heart defect which is why her cardiologist ordered the shots. I do know that "normal" kids who contract RSV do end up hospitalized for about a week, and it can be caught a number of times. I guess it would depend on her overall health and  how bad it is this year in your area.

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.
