RSV -- how many months and when to start

Sept30Madison

I've read the sticky RSV post, but I don't think it had an answer to my questions.

If you live in the Midwest, when does your doctor plan on doing the first immunization? My doc plans on November for the first shot, but that makes me nervous (especially because my older DD is in daycare). 

Also, is there a limit on the number of shots per season?  My ped's office seemed to indicate that they can only give 5 doses so they like to startit later to make sure that late springis covered.

There should be a map in one of those links - or you can Google when RSV season starts in your area. It's great that you qualify for shots. Insurance basically rules supreme over them - five doses sounds about right to me. We missed out last year.
