Getting the Flu and Covid Vaccines

[grey853]

It's that time of year again when one needs to consider getting vaccinated before the serious flu season begins. Also since Covid hasn't really gone away, but simply mutated, we need to get that, too. This is especially true if you're immuno-compromised or are planning to attend holiday gatherings soon

Each year I get the flu shots and Covid shots to the people that work for our large hospital system. What I’m finding this year people are not grumbling when they come to get them. They know they need them. They know it’s a job requirement, but they seem to actually want them personally the first day that I start giving them I get mine and lastly, if you are over 65 get the high dose, it does more for our protection

I'm glad to hear that they're aren't as many grumbles as before. I wish more people took the precaution than they do. My sister only does because she can't come see me without it. LOL.

And, yes, I get the senior flu shot. So far, so good in that I've missed having the flu for several years and I hope that continues.

Take care and stay safe.

It's so freaking easy to get both shots at your pharmacy. We get it done yearly and then every six months it's a new Covid one. I sure don't want to get sick. You'll be all set if your sister comes for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Does she plan on it?

I agree that having it at the local pharmacy makes it super convenient. Like you, I want to avoid sickness as much as possible. If a couple of shots help, I'm all for it. I'm a big believer in SCIENCE!

The plan is for my sister to come the second week in December. Christmas week has way too much traffic. That's how we did it last year and it worked out great. Barring weather issues, that's where it stands.

Thanks for asking.
