I agree with everyone here, it isn't urgent unless something catastrophic happens. I had galvanized pipe in my house (built in 1957) and only replaced it because I needed to replace the hot water heater and the pipes were in terrible shape in that part of the house so I changed everything. Just be prepared but I wouldn't say that it's urgent to get them replaced.

When I met the plumber at my mother-in-law's house (who has a post-war place with a galvanized pipe that had sprung a small leak) he recommended just keeping an eye on things and replacing as needed. That was a few years ago and as far as I know she hasn't had to have any more replaced in the meantime.
