Coronavirus

Re: Coronavirus
Visited the docs today and for the first time ever was asked whether I'd had a flu jab.
Now the cynic in me thought 'he's adding to the business profit' but the pragmatic side of me thought 'wonder if the word has gone out to do most to resist coronavirus'.
It's a mystry.

So, how are they going to get Covid19 in just 20 months?

Edit - I'm unconcerned on a personal level I mean, not for all the poor souls who have died from it.

And if a dog bites me in Turkey I have to go straight to a hospital and get the first of a course of rabies injections plus take something or another. My doctor is very thorough

Re: Coronavirus
after having my first real bout of flu in 2003, I have had the flu shot annually. I had my first pneumonia shot in 2014, had the new improved shot 2 years ago. I thought the shots were every 10 years. 3 years ago I had pneumonia twice in 12 months, but the type I had was not covered by the shot.

Re: Coronavirus
I have had just about every vaccine known to man at one time in my life. Everything from rabies, Japanese encephalitis to the more recent Twinrix. BUT I have never ever had a flu shot and I can only recall ever having the flu once in my life.

Re: Coronavirus
I had the flu jab in November. I read on the WHO site that no pneumonia vacinations will help with the Covid-19.
I will get it next fall with next years flu vac anyway. Better safe than sorry!

Re: Coronavirus
I get the flu shot some years, all depends if I can find the covered ones, some years they go so quickly I don't get a chance. Never had a pneumonia vaccine or ever had a doctor recommend getting one so probably not in the risk/age group for it. I had the usual childhood vaccines and the Hep vaccine back in high school, been tested for immunity recently for the Hep and still have good immunity so didn't need a booster, I had very bad chicken pox as a child (no vaccine back then) so no point in getting the vaccine now, not 50 yet so shingles vaccine isn't on the horizon yet, but probably about due for a tetanus booster, its been close to 10 years since the last one.

Re: Coronavirus
not if the person was 65 or older when they received the first vaccine...or so I’ve read. I have a lung problem which makes me more susceptible to pneumonia...I will check with my pulmonary specialist about this.
