Fall Vaccinations

My husband and I were prompted by our pharmacy to get our flu and Covid shots…we made the appointment as soon as they had the updated Covid vaccine. We are doing some traveling this fall – being out more with other people - so we were glad to be able to get our appointment for last week.

After our appointments were made, there seemed to be a lot of stories in the media about vaccinations and how things are potentially changing in ways that might make the vaccines less available (either supply or insurance coverage or procedure to get the shots at pharmacies).

Fortunately, our appointments were almost identical to the process last fall. But I am a little anxious about the Covid booster I expect to get 6 months from now.

My sister is trying to get a COVID booster for my father. It appears that the assisted living residence is not offering them at the house with the confusion in guidance coming from the Federal level. She is going to take him to a pharmacy for the vaccination even though it will be challenging for him…as it is for many 90+ year old people.
