@Buffalogal47,

How did you feel after the pneumonia shot? Ok?

Did you get the pneumovax 23 or the 13?

The longer you can delay getting your immunization, the longer your immunity will last at the height of the flu season late in the winter.

I wait until the middle of October too.

I got mine 2 weeks ago. I didn't even have a sore arm.

Not yet, was waiting a bit...thought it was better to get it a little later.

Don't know if Covid times makes it any different.

I'm seeing my doc for a physical on Thursday; will ask her what she thinks, because I know it was available early this year, but I've always gotten it in mid October, so that's what I was planning to do again.

I am not sure I am going to get it.  We have a mask mandate in effect.  I am not working or around people so I don't know how I would get the flu.

I am with the group on this thread who doesn't get flu shots. I stopped 20 years ago and have NOT had the flu since.

However, many of my friends and family members get the flu shot each year and most of them get the flu.

Exactly.  Our doctor likes her patients to wait until the end of October for that reason.  We will get them in mid-October too because we want to make sure they are still available.

My doc says wait till mid October, so youre covered at the end of the season too.

I go in October... I hope I can get my Covid 19 booster at the same time by then.
