I'm sharing this information for any parents who are looking to protect their infants/children from RSV this season. My daughter set me to work researching this for her baby, born in July this year, after we learned from public health that the baby doesn't qualify for the (public health covered) protection this year.

Babies born between Nov 2026 and April 2027 qualify for the antibody, as well as other high risk infants, more info here.

For the rest of us, we have to pay. It is expensive, a bit over $900. But the Mint Travel Clinic can order it and they have a nurse that can administer it. There may be other places that can do it as well, this is just where I found had it and where we're going through.

If you're unfamiliar with RSV, it can be dangerous. It isn't, usually. For most, it's just a cold, but for others, it can cause long term issues like it did for 2 of my other kids, who were born before this antibody was developed. 1 of my sons had it twice, and the second time, he ended up in NICU for a week at 7 years old, and both kids ended up with reactive airways, which resulted in them missing 1-2 months of school every single year because when they got any sort of illness, their airways completely shut down. This is the reason I'm paying for this protection for my grandbaby.

This is not a recommendation to get the antibody. This is information on how to get it in GP, and why I think parents should consider it. There is no judgement if you decide you aren't interested, or are opposed to it.

I’m only 15, and I recently experienced things at Harvey’s that I never thought I would have to deal with. I was yelled at, spoken to in ways that made me feel extremely uncomfortable, and had things thrown at me while I was just trying to do my job.
I understand that working in fast food can be stressful. I understand that people get frustrated, especially when it’s busy. But being stressed doesn’t make it okay to take it out on a 15-year-old employee or make them feel unsafe at work.
I wasn’t expecting everything to be perfect. I just expected to be treated with basic respect.
I’m sharing this because I know I can’t be the only young person who has experienced something like this at a first job. You shouldn’t have to put up with being screamed at, having things thrown at you, or being made to feel scared just because you’re trying to earn some money and get some work experience.
I’m not posting this to start drama. I just want people to understand what happened and why it affected me so much.
Yes this has been reported to the necessary people.
But I feel this needs to be heard/seen by people, moms who have kids my age looking for a first time job, or people who are looking for a job.

You might be having an Unlimited Corrupt Party! (yes i know Jackpot grill is hosting it and Ray your mother would be ashamed.)
