    Flu shot?

    Done. Hope this year they're better at predicting the strain than last year.

    Re: Flu shot?

    I was at a WalMart in Pensacola over the weekend and they had an employee walking around asking if we'd had our flu shot yet. I wasn't aware they even had the vaccine in stock yet--it wasn't even Labor Day. Is there a problem with getting it this early? Will it lose its efficacy by February (which is usually when I get the flu, for some reason)?

    The vaccine might last a lifetime, or at least 90 years, according to one study.

    Or at least through the spring and actually into the next year, longer than first thought.

    But this study shows only six months, and then it drops significantly. So go figure.

    I figured it takes two weeks before it becomes effective, and anything in September would take you to March, so I was good with it. But my wife said she wants to wait until October to be safe. Maybe that's the most prudent course.

    By the way, I was picking up something at the Walmart pharmacy when an employee solicited me, too. So mine was not planned, just happenstance.
