That's exactly what I initiated yesterday with Shingrix #1. Flu shot end of Sept or 1st week of Oct. Then Shingrix #2 on/after 14 October. Hopefully there will be a Covid vaccine available sometime in the late fall. Walgreens pharacist/shot-person that schedule is her plan as well (except she's already done the Shingrix). She was more than willing to give me the flu shot yesterday but thought it was just a wee-bit early. To each there own of course - good idea to get one when it's convenient, not after the flu has already started making it's rounds of TV.
