9. People do it. I wouldn't.

Some doctor I read said it's fine to get them all at once, but better to space them out. If it's too onerous to travel to where you get your shots, then get them all together.

I'd rather let my body develop a good reaction one at a time. And I've heard that the shingles vaccine can tire you out so I don't want to have all three of them messing with me. This is reminding me that I should get the Shingrix this weekend.

I'm waiting for Novavax (for the Covid vaccine), I've read that it will provide a better and longer-lasting immune response in the upper respiratory system than mRNA vaccines. Hopefully it'll be available in a couple weeks (?). It has CDC approval, it's waiting on the FDA. If it's stymied by a government shutdown then I'll think about Moderna. (I've had both Moderna & Pyser, good to mix them up), but I really think Novavax will provide better protection.

And then I'll get my flu vaccine, closer to the flu season.
