I'm curious about what all of you are doing this fall. Did you get, or are you going to get, the COVID booster?

 

I've gotten my flu shot and am waiting on the booster. I'm not sure I'll get one.

I got my Flu shot.

 

My Doctor's office did not even suggest the other.

 

But I would have refused anyway.

I’ve never gotten a flu shot. Eventually, I will catch a bad case and change my ways.
 

Covid - got the initial shot of my own free will because it seemed like it was going to take care of business. No need for any boosters once reality took hold.  
 

A question for the older, mostly white and angry men here - got shingles vaccine? A friend of mine recently had a case and highly recommends I get it. Thoughts?

Got my flu shot, got the pneumonia shot as well.  Haven’t had the flu shot the past few years but jumped back in.

I had the first shingles shot. Never went due second but probably will.  My understanding is shingles is pretty nasty.

My ex had it, it's no fun to say the least.

 

Either was she.

I got my shingles vaccine a couple years ago

I already got the flu shot.  Got the shingles shots (I think there’s two) a few years ago.  I go to Roswell next month for my annual checkup.  If they tell me to get the Covid booster I probably will.  I had shingles 15+ years ago after my transplant, you don’t want shingles…

Older? Check.

White? Yeah, that too, but not relevant here.

Vaccine? No. Not yet.

Got shingles? Yep. I did.

 

Some serious advice because, after all, it seems I kind of like most of you angry older white men: get that damn vaccine. Shingles hurt like hell. Actually went into my ear and in a nerve down half of my face. Like someone stabbing an ice pick into my brain. Sharp nerve pain that only lasted a couple seconds at a time, but enough to wake me from a deep sleep jolted by pain. Like having a bad tooth that needs a root canal when you bit down hard on something, but totally random 100 times a day. Still have some weird tingling/numbness from time to time. Kicking myself for not getting the vax when I was first eligible.
