Got a flu shot today. I was in CVS the other day and the girl

[Tomconroy]

At the counter asked me if I wanted one. I declined then but it did remind me that the other virus will arrive soon. My wife and I went over to CVS today. Easy Peasy.

1. Yup. Now's the optimal time or at least by late October.

2. Tx for the reminder; I've seen mention of a combo covid-flu

shot but don't know any more. Heads up & FYI, 'the woman at the counter.' Some object to girl.

3. Yeah, I know. But to me any woman my age (66) or younger

will always be a girl.

4. Then go for it, nice.

5. My 92 year old aunt does that

In fact, the few old friends still alive to her are-- My Girl Gang.

7. Yes, I doubt if "boy" gets equal use for adult males.

6. I see my Internist on the 30th...

Will likely get my flu shot then. I will ask her about the Moderna booster as well should I need that also.

8. Did you just get the "seasonal type" flu shot for

the one deemed expected this year, or the one with 4x the antigens of flu(s) or the one that has an adjuvant ingredient to give a greater response of antibody protection from the vaccine?

I want to get the flu shot spaced out from a CoVid booster; as of today, the booster looks unlikely to be opened up before the New Year...so flu shot now - CoVid, some months later. Yes?

9. They told me it was the one for over 65s.

I believe it was described as 'high dose'. had no idea there were three. They did say don't get a Covid booster for 3 to 4 weeks. I'm going to get a booster but I'm not desperate the way I was last spring.
