Is it too early for a flu shot........

[Tripper123044]

Seems like it is....

Nah... go ahead a get one.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Get one now and get another in November.

Just make sure it’s not a “flu” shot from Russia

 

[RocketDawg]

Don't think they're available yet. Probably will be next month. I was wondering if the race to get a Covid vaccine had negatively impacted this year's flu vaccine, but apparently not (according to info from a google search).

I typically get mine in October. There’s a trade off of not being protected at the beginning of the season if you get it late vs not being protected at the end if you get it early.

Better to get it around the end of October according to CDC

 

[Raiderdawg.sixpack]

It’s not too early. Shipments started already, should be widely available by the end of September.

Better get flu and pneumonia shots this year. Pneumonia shot helps vs Covid and now, supposedly against dementia.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

That’s a good idea. Are pneumonia shots yearly?

 

[was21]

I think there are two pneumonia shots, but maybe only one. It's a one time thing for each pneumonia shot if there are two.

That’s a good idea. Are pneumonia shots yearly?

If you got both pneumococcal shots for those 65 and over, it should last you the rest of your life.

If they're available, get one. I usually get mine in September or October. The flu started earlier than normal last year. Glen Hansard cancelled his show at the House of Blues in New Orleans this past September because he got it & I was planning on being there.

We typically do them in late September/October in the nursing home biz.
