I think I will go with him

Yes, in my work environment I am exposed to lots of illness, AND I am around vulnerable individuals, so it is what I choose to do.

@crazyhorseladycx I am so sorry about the little guy. I am not familiar with this disorder but you can bet I will look it up.

@GardenGerty 'xactly 'n kudo's to ya fer takin' that precaution! i'd really love to punch some 'f those anti-vaxers square'n the jaw. most 've no clue 's to what they'd e'en be speakin'... i've a lil grandson with c.a.s.k. syndrome 'n e'en jest a 'simple cold' will land that lil fella 'nto i.c.u. with a ventilator fer several weeks. we 'lmost lost him this past january to such. he's no muscle tone so can't cough schtuff'p, bless him. so, thanks so much fer considerin' others who's lives ya touch.

My doctor has already told me to get them.

@Starkinds There are some other vaccines I need as well, but two at a time are plenty.

@GardenGerty that's fine now

I remember, over the years, having the REAL flu, not just some upper respiratory illness that someone called the flu. I had it at least four times. I literally had a headache that felt as if my skull would split open, and I would have sworn I was being torn limb from limb. All of that with a high fever.I remember at least four times. If I can prevent that, I will.

@shaggin This goes back clear to my childhood, and I lived with smokers. Other times I was in public a lot, and I drove a school bus one year when I got it. I am sixty six years old, so four times out of 66 is not too bad. That was type A. I believe I also had type B once but it was so much milder. I have not had it since I started getting the shots.

@GardenGerty right so you definitely have reason to want to prevent it for sure! Seems you are more susceptible to it then others possibly.

Now that he has had two surgeries and no longer needs a catheter he should heal quickly.

I have now had both pneumonia shots. I think they hurt afterwards. Flu shot never did, but I got sore after each pneumonia shot. That is why I got them on a long weekend.

@GardenGerty My mom said she was sore too, so must be the shot, Flu shot was fine.

I listen to some of the more reasonable opinions about too many vaccines too young, but for myself, I choose the vaccines.

Good for you Fredo, got mine this evening.

Need often depends on circumstances. I started taking them when I worked in nursing homes and schools.

Hubby cannot get his until he is done with the antibiotics.

I hope you continue to stay in good health.
