Broke down and got my 65+ extra strength flu shot last weekend. I’m sure there is an official name for it, but that’s what I’m calling it.
The new two-shot shingles vaccine (called Shingrex) is much more effective than the old one. You should seriously consider getting it even if you had the old one.
