17. RSV is not an annual shot per CDC. Though, I would ask the Dr if any benefit to taking annually in your case.

The RSV vaccine is not currently an annual vaccine, meaning eligible adults do not need to get a dose every RSV season. Currently, CDC recommends only a single dose of RSV vaccine for all adults ages 75 and older and adults ages 60-74 with increased risk of severe RSV disease. Additional surveillance and evaluation activities are ongoing to determine whether adults might benefit from receiving additional RSV vaccine doses in the future. So far, RSV vaccines appear to provide some protection for at least two RSV seasons.
