Flu shot

[Debby]

I need to schedule mine right away. Thanks for the reminder.

Debby, it's not the dying so much, it's how much you have to suffer before you die. The last time I had it, I got to the point I was hoping I would die. JK.

Yeah the suffering is the rotten part isn't it? The last time I had the flu, the virus got into my eye muscles (according to the doctor) and I was seeing everything double for about two or three weeks after that. That's when I started doing my yoga with my eyes closed which by the way does wonders for ones balance as you have to retrain your brain to a great degree. That came in very handy when I got vertigo and got dizzy from even opening my eyes at all so I guess one could say that getting the flu as bad as I did was 'good for me'.

Also get the pneumonia booster if you haven't had one in the last five years I believe they said...

Yep, flu shot plus pneumonia booster definitely worth doing.

I've had my flu shot with no problems, had the pneumonia shot a few years ago, I've never had the pneumonia booster, did not know about it.

Yup, the pneumonia vaccine is only good for 5 years, according to my doc and pharmacist. The new one I got this year is also supposed to cover more types of pneumonia bugs. I got mine when I got the flu shot.

I'm proud of myself. I'm all "shot" up. You name it, I got my shot for it. I know some get all spastic over getting "shots". Well, they way I look at it, if I get the shots, I probably won't get the disease. And if the shot kills, well, you gotta die of something. Might as we be something my heirs can sue for millions.

You wouldn’t think we are heading into spring @January it was the coldest morning ever recorded in SA today
1.3 c …about 34f

 

[January]

Yes,going through a cold snap in SA too.

However re flu vaccine, best time to have it here is about April.

ETA - sorry, somehow read your post as saying in Sydney

 

[HermitHogan]

I got the flu shot and the covid booster this afternoon.

 

[Fyrefox]

I’ve had the RSV shot, and the updated Covid vaccine. I’m waiting until October for my flu jab as I still want the protection active during the dead of winter.

 

[Lewkat]

Got mine last week.

 

[Pappy]

Got ours at CVS last Tuesday. Looking in to the RSV shot next.

 

[Jackie23]

I'll get both the flu and COVID booster in October.

 

[HermitHogan]

I was a little achy from the shots when I got up this morning, but I feel okay now after taking a couple Ibuprofens.

 

[StarSong]

Will get the flu shot in a few weeks. Just had Covid again last month so no updated Covid jab for me until November. I'm up to date on all other vaccinations: RSV, pneumonia, shingles. You name it, I don't want to get deathly ill with it.
