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  :(

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.

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.   :(

I was recalling your father's quote. I love his colorful wording!

 :) Yeah, it makes me laugh as well. 

My favourite was a few years ago and after reading some newspaper article that eating tomatoes may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer, he proudly declared without thinking: "A tomato a day helps keep the bollocks gay"

Seems like everyone on the monthly call today is also getting a COVID booster, I am still a little concerned that I didn't get offered one this year. Anyhow, ill just have to stay away from people as best I can.
