davis_squareThis is actually the sign of fall that usually starts to put me in the mind of the upcoming cold weather--time to get your flu shot! Not only does this protect you from the misery of aches and fever and missed work days, it's a community service to get a shot.
We have neighbors who are getting cancer treatment, and they are counting on you to help us keep the flu away. When my nephew was getting leukemia treatments, I was so worried he'd get an otherwise-preventable infection that would be so hard on him. But--thanks to the neighbors, he was ok and now in remission (and all his vaccinations are back up to speed).
So please--for yourself, for your vulnerable neighbors--get protected.

If you have insurance...
Date: 2017-10-05 05:47 pm (UTC)I heard about the Medicare exception from a friend who has that as their insurance. The logic seems to be that most people who are on Medicare are over 65, and need the higher-dose vaccine that your doctor probably has but the drugstore doesn't.
