I never have had the flu vaccine. Haven't gotten the flu since 1990. Doc told me a long time ago that I am not at risk. That while I will feel puny for 10 days or so, the flu won't kill me like it would some others. That was some time ago. I see a different doctor now who agrees with that statement except that now that I frequent many doctor's offices, and hospitals with DH it is is a good thing for me to get the flu vaccine. However, the deadline she said was Feb. She told me that on Feb. 8th. So I will be just as careful as always until next fall. But the pneumonia vaccine makes sense to me. IDK think there is a "season" per se. And since one of the results of getting Coronavirus can be pneumonia, I think it is a smart move. The flu vaccine won't help with COVID19 at all. DH and I will get vaccinated tomorrow. While we are there we will start the shingles vaccine series, too. IDK if this is smart. But...

A 13th case appeared today in another county. Schools are making plans on how they will manage closures.
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love Truly, Laugh
uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you Smile.
