Just as a reminder, it's that time of year again and don't forget to consider COVID boosters and other recommended vaccines

Jim Allen:
I got my flu shot on Tuesday👍. I had a pneumococcal shot last year so that should still be okay but sadly I'm not eligible for a COVID booster here  :(

Grasshopper:
We had the COVID booster two weeks ago, and earlier today the Flu shot. We had the pneumococcal shot last year and thats valid for 5 years. If I'm not wrong next year we have to renew the Shingles vaccine.

Bucklandbury:
I had a "touch of AIDS," so I went on and got the flu vaccine and my COVID booster within the last month. ;-)

Good stuff, protect yourself. I wish I could get the COVID booster but my current CD4 count is too high to qualify for the booster here.   :(
