[14] One 2008 study indicated a rate of febrile seizures of 9 per 10,000 vaccinations with MMRV, as opposed to 4 per 10,000 for separate MMR and varicella shots; U.S. health officials known as the ACIP therefore do not express a preference for use of MMRV vaccine over separate injections.
The RSV vaccine is recommended for all adults 75 and older and adults 60 to 74 who have an increased risk for severe disease. The shots aren’t needed every year.
