We aren't getting ours until Novemeber - Jan, Feb & March are the months we want to stay healthiest so we're trying to put it off.

You could get it again, then, right? Does anyone know?

Never. We never get flu shots.

Dr. Fauci is strategic about getting his own flu shot. He told Garner he gets the vaccine “towards the middle and end of October.”

Why inject yourself with something that has a horrible success rate.

Because Covid and flu isn't a good combo and every health official is telling everyone to get one.

I will get all of us the vaccine since my kids go to school and because it seems like any immune response will help fighting virus in general (I.e. the more vaccines you get the better chances you have to fight viruses you have not been vaccinated from), but honestly the reason why they want us all vaccinated for the flu is that symptoms are similar to Covid and could be confused. Also, less flu around = more hospital beds for Covid patients, less people in hospital, etc

I think Dr. Fauci is right in regards to the timing. I got mine already and feel like I should have waited but was concerned it would be difficult to get in October.

Because the risks are very minimal and even 50%-- even 25%!-- is better than nothing for a moderately serious disease. But I guess because you "inject" it, that automatically makes it full of evilbad toxins.

My kids went back to school in-person so we did flu shots 2 weeks before that.
