I just want to clarify that the CDC has not issued official guidance for this year's flu vaccine, even though the vaccine has been delivered to pharmacists and they have already administered the shot to hundreds or thousands of people. What is the CDC waiting for? They are unofficially recommending that "older people" wait until September to get the vaccine. But, pharmacists in The Villages apparently don't agree wiith the CDC because they have ordered the high dose vaccine for people over 65, and are giving it to them, and are not telling them to wait until September. So, who do you believe? I guess it is up to every individual to make their own decision.
