It is mid-September. Even last year, by this time, the media was jabbering away like crazy about the flu shots & the pharmacies were pushing it like crazy. This year, I am sure I have yet to see a sign outside a pharmacy offering the flu shot. The emphasis is all on COVID.
I have been getting the flu shot, religiously, for the last 5 or 6 years. But, I refuse to get it earlier than November. And in the last couple of years I have seen reports that concur with I that it is better to get the flu shot after October than before.
So, I am not looking to get a shot right now. I will wait till November — closer to Thanksgiving as possible.
I understand that COVID & the flu are separate things & that the COVID vaccine is not going to protect me from the flu.
Just wanted to share this with you so that you can start thinking about it.
