What we actually know is this. Only about 30 per cent of us had the jab last year. This year's shot covers two A strains and one B, adjusted for the one they're calling Super-K. Protection is strongest three to four months after, and our season usually runs June to September. From 15 May, the RSV vaccine is free for Australians 75 and over, and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people 60 and over.

Mine's booked for next week. That's my choice, made with the timing in mind.
