It's always a challenge to figure out how to time when to get your #Covid & #flu (& #RSV, if you qualify) shots. But this year is particularly challenging, with the large late summer Covid surge. Some experts talked me through their thinking. https://www.statnews.com/2024/09/04/covid-booster-flu-shot-rsv-vaccines-seasonal-immunization-guidelines/
@HelenBranswell It's also a challenge to figure out whether your local provider has the 2023 version of the COVID vaccine, or whether they have the updated 2024 version. I would rather make sure I get the latest version, even if it means waiting a little bit.
@cgrymala @HelenBranswell A couple of months ago, I tried to see if I could get another booster of the old vaccine, prior to travel. I was told that this was unavailable, supplies had run out or were expired and the pharmaceutical companies were busy making the new one, and had stopped making the old. But of course I will ask when I go get the new vaccine.
