2023 Flu shots and Covid booster
Both Walgreens and Publix are out of the vaccine!
There are no schedule dates available for Sumter county. Anybody else running into same issue (on line). I guess we will try walk in and see what we get (or not). |

Walgreens wanted too much information before showing me availability.
I haven't looked at Publix yet CVS has a number of appointments available next week. Since this new formulation is just becoming available it is not really a surprise that appointments are filling quickly. We're planning for mid-October.

Don’t know about the COVID shot, as I was planning to get it in October, but I was seeing my doctor two weeks ago and they asked if I wanted a flu shot and I said “sure!”. So I did.

After talking to the pharmacist at Walgreen's on Paar Drive....he said the pipeline is filling and emptying faster than web site pace.
I told him about the lack of info on their web site..he advised to call 800-925-4733. Just say vaccine schedule they will promptly roll you over to a live person who will locate closest store having what you want and reserving/confirming your appointment. Email and text confirmations received before we were done on the phone. |

Unfortunately I need to wait a bit before getting the flu and COVID shots, because I'm currently recovering from surgery to remove a malignant melanoma and taking doxycycline as an infection-preventative. I'll check with the dermatologist tomorrow and ask how long after the antibiotics are done, can I get vaccinated.
I'd also like to go back to donating blood. Skin cancer sucks, folks. |

No reasonably healthy person has anything to fear from COVID. The COVID vaccines are no guarantee against COVID and due to their limited testing & being rushed into production, who knows what side effects may appear years later. The vaccines have already have caused some people heart problems and strokes. I have almost 20 years in healthcare as a Paramedic Supervisor, Emergency/ICU RN, and Coroner and I am not an anti-vaxxer, just a anti-COVID vaxxer. I'll just stick with the vaccines that were tested the old fashioned way for 12-15 years before unleashing them on the public.

I just got the flu shot at my doctors office when I had my 6 month check up.

Another factor is in the US we now have 170 countries being introduced into the "melting pot" at a tune of thousands per day so that brings with it "variants" of other fun stuff so which vaccine takes out which diseases these days? Can't forget to mention our newly arrived "Acturus" covid with pink eye. Thinking a permanant portal for vaccine injections would make all this easier if The Villages can keep up with stocking vaccines. |

Not on my list of worries, I'll pass on both. And no lectures, I'm a retired nurse of 28+ years and never took any then. I'm still here...work on your own immune system, it works.
