Update on Flu Shot
 

I had a discussion with the Publix Pharmacist at Colony and
she told me:
It takes 3-4 weeks to become effective,
It is not too early to get the flu shot,
The shot lasts almost a year.

So I got my flu shot today!

I happened to be at my internist's office last week and she shuffled me right off for a shot (in their own lab, of course). I usually get one since I'm in a high risk category but thought it was a little early, too.

Hospital employees start injections on September 17 this year it's almost a month earlier than last year

I got mine last Thursday as I was at the doctors office anyway. I'm good to go.

Better to get it early rather than wait and then you have to wait even more, if they have run out.

Regular dose or High dose?

Colony Medical Center is starting Flu shots 9/18. I already have a spot on the list.

Regular dose for me. High dose for 65 and over.
