I am curious to hear comments about the current strain. Symptoms, etc. It is much more of a serious affair for seniors 65 and older. fj12ryder • View posts Platte City, MO Senior Member Joined: 08/19/2003 View Profile Posted: 11/05/22 01:30pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator 2010?

The senior vaccine is twice the dose of the standard dose.

I get the flu shot every year and haven't had flu since I've been doing that. Didn't get flu in 2010, FWIW. Anyway, they do the best they can each year and there's no apparent downside to getting the shot.

It's always a shot in the dark (pun intended!) as to whether or not it works. Why you are worried about something that happened in 2010 I don't understand as it's not relevant. Go get your shot and be done with it. I've never had a reaction to any flu shot. Or COVID shot for that mater. I HAVE heard that the flu is hitting hard and early this year which comes as no surprise. 2 years of masking and closures have weakened everyone's immune systems. Going for a physical on Tuesday when I will most likely get my shot. I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be Douglas Adams RV-less for now but our spirits are still on the open road. free radical • View posts Canada Senior Member Joined: 02/07/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/16/22 08:35pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Do this and youll never get sick https://youtu.be/8MqbdX6n6yY d1h • View posts Indiana Senior Member Joined: 07/06/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 11/17/22 11:24am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator MEXICOWANDERER • View posts las peñas, michoacan, mexico Senior Member Joined: 06/01/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/21/22 07:10pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Covid to the Left of me Influenza to the right Here I am in the middle again...? wa8yxm • View posts Davison Michigan (East of Flint) Senior Member Joined: 07/04/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 11/22/22 04:03am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Well. for many years my wife had to get a flu shot due to working in a senior residene.. Alas she always got sick after. (Me never got the flu, well as an adult, but did get Pneumonia one time) Since COVID I've gotten my flu shots (No reaction and no flu either) also got my COVID shots (Likewise no reaction and No COVID) Got a few other vaccines too.. THEY WORK With both the Flu and to some extent COVID the vaccines are a bit of a "Best Guess" With flu they attempt to predict how it will mutate every year (Evolve is another word for Mutate in this case) and prepare a vaccine to do that. The Mihigan State Dept of Health lab was rather good at that prediction but alas the were sold to a commercial venture that's not so hot. With COVID they are mostly reacting when a new variant (Mutation) Evolves and thus it's more effective. But I'm still 0/0 for Flu and Covid. Do get the annual mild cold. but see the Theraflu commericals.. There's a big difference between my winter cold and either of those two diseases.. like the difference between a mosquito bite. (Had a bunch of those) and over 2 dozen bee stings (Did that once too. only time I got an EPI shot) Home was where I park it. but alas the. 2005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total loss after a semi "nicked" it.
