Twinkle Toes had her first RSV shot yesterday. This shot IS NOT a vaccine. Instead it is a set of antibodies which will last a mere 30 days and will need to be repeated every month until April or May. It all depends on the cold and flu season in our state and region.
The CDC has an awesome tracking tool which allows parents and doctors to see how RSV and the Flu are progressing thru-out the country. Check it out here. You can do the same type of "surveillance" for the flu!
But the best news of the nurse visit was that Twinkle Toes is now weighing in at 12 lbs. 2 oz.! She has gained 7 oz in 7 days! Right on track.
