Do you try to time your vaccines?
I am torn between waiting to get max protection during November and December and just getting it out of the way now.
I'd kinda hate to get the flu or Covid during the period I was holding off. So I trend to doing it sooner.
CDC guidance is as wishy-washy as you might expect on this topic. (It just states the two positions I did.)
@S_r_stone yes. Better safe than sorry is an old saying for good reason. -and- I've never contracted COVID despite injecting an immunosuppressant every two weeks.
@Dane Wait, are you saying yes do it now or yes hold off to get max protection in November December?
@S_r_stone I would do it now for maximum protection through the holidays. Especially if it's a new strain of COVID vaccine.
@S_r_stone Last year I got the flu and Covid shots together as soon as the latter became available. I plan for the same this year.
@S_r_stone
I tried to time COVID last year, but it had mutated too much by then. Might as well get the shot as soon as available. Plus COVID seems to not follow the same seasons as flu. For whatever reason, summer travel season boosts it as much as winter holidays.
@EileenKCarpenter Thanks, I think you pushed me over the line on my dilemma.
@S_r_stone: Yes.
