It must be Fall...flu shots

gidgetgh · ‎03-09-2010

I know it isn't officially Fall yet, but for the last three weeks, all the pharmacies around our house have the "we have the flu shot" signs out. It seemed really early to me to have them out in mid-August.

We won't get our shots till toward the end of this month, but when I see the flu shot signs, I know Fall is coming.

I'd like to just have Fall, pass right over winter and have it be Spring again.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Got my flu shot last Friday and also pneumonia vaccine. I'm looking forward to fall and winter.

Will probably be getting my shot some time in early October, and believe I too am due for the pneumonia shot.......

We are supposed to have another winter like last year.......Oh my........

Will be getting my flu shot during my scheduled appointment at the end of the month.

How often are you supposed to take a pneunomia shot?

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

My doctor recommends every 10 years.

Every 5 years. I only know because DH just had his 70th birthday and got an e mail from the ins. co reminding him to renew his pneumonia shot.

I get my flu shot in October. I'm not sure when I had my last pneumonia shot. Will have to look it up.

Me too! The only good thing about Fall & Winter is Spring & Summer

The drugstores and supermarkets in my area have signs advertising flu shots. I receive mine every year in October based on my physician's recommendation. I am 68 years of age and will get the extra strength vaccine recommended for those of us over the age of 65.
