Hey Gen X get a booster. Grt your tDAP now too. Whooping cough is awful. And throw in chicken pox/shingles. It's going to be a rough winter in healthcare
Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:
MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.
Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We ARE at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.
Shingles comes in a pair, and I've gotta go get the second one. Thanks for the reminder!
The first one knocked me out for a day.
Thanks for the reminder! I have my usual appointment with my GP in the fall and will ask her to give me the works.
Can confirm whooping cough is awful. I caught it cuz ky teacher's kid got it from an unvaxxed classmate. And if you do get it your doctor may not recognize it. I took two months to get diagnosed and I got VERY sick. I was vaxxed, too, which is what saved my life. GET VAXXED!
Thanks for the reminder! I just got COVID last month for the 1st time. I was so disappointed.
Had mine a year or two ago.
Seriously. Tdap, mmr, shingles, and your pneumonia shot as well. Please
Been trying to get the shingles shot. Nobody will let me. Hoping the next 3 years aren't enough to trigger it...
I got my measles this summer and everyone was like, but...why?
BECAUSE REASONS, I'm 49 NOW, JUST JAB IN THE SHOT, PLEASE!
I'm up to date on those, just have to hope that the hep a/hep b combo vax is still available in December when I am scheduled for my last dose.
I'm gonna get my flu and covid boosters if/when they become available. Same goes for my kids. It's gonna be a rough one.
Given the whole raw milk bullshit, I'd be going for anything you can get including Hep A and B.
Food safety is going to tank and there'll be an increase in Hep A cases.
I was born in '84 - got the titer and had zero immunity to mumps. MMR booster is just a really good idea at this point.
