This year if you are over 65 they are recommending the more potent version....which we both did. Just like always at the end of the day one would not know they even received a shot.

We get ours whenever they start giving them so we have ours already. Medicare, doctors and other providers have said it is never too early to get the shot.
I got the more potent version last year because we were going overseas. I also got a pneumonia shot at the same time. Man, did I get sick. After seeing my internist at University of Michigan, she advised the more potent flu shot was probably the culprit. But who knows? I would not advise getting the more potent one and a pneumonia shot at the same time!

Last year Miona Rec Center had a couple of days where you could get your flu shot. Very easy intake and very little waiting. I saw the dates in the Rec Center news.
