Lucky you. Flu & Covid strains keep mutating - In NZ they are strongly warning the general population to keep all vaccinations current to avoid another Covid outbreak.

Dave, I get the ful shot every year to avoid the flu bug. So far it’s not affected me whatsoever. Only thing I’ve had each time is where they stick me in my arm. It hurts like the devil for like two days but other than that, I’ve not had no issue whatsoever and another shot that also hurts like the devil after you End up getting it is the pneumonia shot. That’s also made my arm sore for a few days afterwards not the other one you’re mentioning I’ve not had that one yet before so I can’t give you any input on that one.

I had 2 Covid vax and have had Covid 3 times. I’ve gotten the pneumonia vaccine bcse I had hospital acquired pneumonia. I’m done with vaccines for now. But I’m not against vaccines it’s just my choice for now.

Take your Drs advice. I get the Flu vaccination every year as soon as it is
available - I get it free because of my medical conditions.
