@harold @augieray aha! Here in BC that is only recommended for folks at high risk (that might include those over 65, but I’m not there yet) The Ministry sends out texts when your vaccination window is open. So far I have only been getting those annually in October. so I go in and get jabbed for COVID and the flu at the same time.

@ChrisCorrigan @augieray Over 65 and I get the 4X flu shot as well. "As people reach age 65, the immune system becomes less effective at fighting infections. For this reason, the CDC recommends a high-dose flu vaccine for adults in this age group, which is four times stronger than the standard version given to the general population." https://scitechdaily.com/stronger-flu-shot-linked-to-nearly-55-lower-alzheimers-risk-study-finds/
