Seeking advice - Nurse gave infant adult vaccine.
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
My wife took our child in for a 1 month appointment. They asked my wife if she wanted to give the child the RSV antinbody shot and she agreed. Later that day the doctor called and said the nurse mistakenly gave a full dose of the adult RSV vaccine. I don't what to do. Im tracking down what brand they gave and what lot number, ill update asap.
According to drugs.com this injection is not approved for children. It should never have been administered to a child/infant. It's meant for adults only - pregnant women in the third trimester or elderly adults. That said, it doesn't appear to be a "risky" product (and this is NOT a medical assessment as I'm not a physician), not many side-effects and most appearing at the injection site and shortly after the administration of the shot (for any allergic reaction).
I'm praying it will turn out to be benign for the baby and all will be fine. The baby would have gotten the dose pre-birth through the bloodstream shared with the mother so it's not a drug that has never been "administered" (in a sense), even indirectly in the fetal stage, to infants.
