Influenza vaccines are available for the 2019-2020 northern hemisphere season

I’ve asked my various MDs. They all agreed the thing to do is get it when it’s in stock. They haven’t had it “wearing off” on patients and flu cases have already appeared in our state, requiring treatment.

H and I got our shots this week. My folks got them about a week ago at their md appt. My doc & pharmacist said it was a good idea to get it and give it 2 weeks for strongest effect before I fly later this month.

No side effects for H nor I than a bit of tenderness near site for 36-48 hours.
