Flu Shots Now Available
Flu shots are now available. I got mine yesterday at Publix. It may be a little early, but I figured that they may become harder to get than toilet paper was a few months ago. Also, there was a severe shortage of the Shingrix vaccine last year. Who is getting the flu shot?

We will figure we will wait for our next DR appt in October assuming it is a real visit.

We will get ours the next time a Rx is due to pick up.

My wife got shot one of Shingrix this week at Walgreens. Good Rx coupon saved us $27.00. The pharmacist said the flu shots were arriving this week. I think this year sooner is better for getting the flu shot. BTW, the pharmacist said it's safe to get Shingrix, then flu shot, then Shingrix 2, and still be able to get a Covid vaccination when they become available.

Did you check that no tracking device was injected at the same time?
Can't be to carefull these days!!:icon_wink: |
As I understand it flu shots are effective only over a certain time span so I usually get mine in late September. Last year I got a pneumonia shot at the same time. No problem.

Who said shortages? That will get a villages resident stampede started!!! There is no more shortage than there has been the last few years....NONE. Any given location may run out....until they get their next delivery. Results have been more vaccine than those who get the shot. Less than 50% of population gets flu shots. Last year 162-169 million doses prepared. |

Good points and questions about the flu shot. It appears that the vaccine lasts approximately 6 months, and the CDC recommends a late October dosage time. So my sooner rather than later comment has changed. One can quickly find information about this online.

As far as the shingles vaccine goes, there are occasional shortages, but the reason is that the process is very similar to manufacturing chicken pox vaccine for kids. So the decision was mad to give the kids priority leading to some periods of backorder for shingles vaccine |

And there are a couple weeks before the vaccine takes effect. Our plan is Sept - Oct since the season runs through first quarter of next year.

I'd personally rather wait a couple months for something, than get it tomorrow and pay another $500 just for the privilege. |
do they still offer the $10 gift card?
