I’ve read all the comments here, and I did not see anyone commenting about the ramifications of an unvaccinated grandparent unknowingly exposing a grandbaby to RSV. According to the CDC, RSV can cause more severe infections such as bronchiolitis, an inflammation of the small airways in the lung, and pneumonia, an infection of the lungs. Children at greatest risk for severe illness from RSV include the following: Premature infants. Infants up to 12 months, especially those 6 months and younger. Children younger than 2 years with chronic lung disease or congenital (present from birth) heart disease.

I would hate to live knowing I put a baby in the hospital by infecting it with RSV.
