Sharing this now before it’s taken down. We’re in the midst of the worst flu season in at least 15 years. If you haven’t been vaccinated, there’s no better time than now!

Doc, if you don’t mind a free advice question heh… are there any vaccines you have to be careful not to get too much of? You motivated me to make an appt for the flu shot and CVS is asking if I’d like to add others, but do I need to know when my last ones were?
If your last Tdap was more than ~4-5 years ago, I’d consider that (it’s generally every 10 years but immunity wanes after a few years). I see you are getting an MMR. The CDC doesn’t recommend additional doses for adults, but data shows the immunity lasts ~10-15 years after dose 2 (given age 4-6).
Oh good! I got a Tdap booster at my last annual physical. MMR I’m pretty sure I haven’t had since childhood and with all the talk of measles outbreaks I’m kinda anxious about it 😩
So far, nothing major going on locally (though I did see there was a case in NJ). You may want to double check that your insurance will cover the additional mmr dose.
