Re: High-Dose Flu Shot
I got flu shots every year for 30 years at work, the one test I didn’t I got pneumonia and ended up being flown to a larger city hospital. One of my lungs ended up with an infection, several chest tubes and hospitalized for 6 weeks. 2 months of home IV’s, I don’t know if there was a correlation but I haven’t missed one since and have not had the flu.

Re: High-Dose Flu Shot
second day after getting the "High-Dose Flu Shot" no sign of soreness at the injection site .... still a hit of stiffness .... whether a person chooses to take the flu shot or any other elective inoculation or not is a personal matter .... one thing that I learned the hard way is the relationship between getting sick with the flu and having Sleep Apnea .... without going into detail the bottom line is, it can throw your heart out of time .... some folks can handle it with medication, in my case it required years of various treatments (including stopping my heart and using the paddles to shock it back into operation) .... it finally put me into heart surgery at Duke University Hospital .... thankfully, that surgery seems to have taken care of it for me .... I learned the hard way just how something like the flu can be when it interacts with other medical conditions

Re: High-Dose Flu Shot
Made my bi-weekly trip to the VA this am. Got my regular hip injection, plus got my flu shot, this after my trip to the lab for the vampires to do their thing. Came out walking upright, so reckon I'll be ok, LOL.
No soreness from the flu shot.
FWIW, the nurse was bigger than me, so I didn't argue with her.

Re: High-Dose Flu Shot
That bout with pneumonia, being on ventilator and respirator is the reason I don’t go anywhere without a mask when I have to go out. In fact Mrs. B is very particular where she lets me go.

it appears that your Mrs. B and my Mrs. B share a bit more than a SD upbringing ..

Re: High-Dose Flu Shot
I’ve gotten a flu shot every year for the past 20 years. I don’t know if I’ve had the flu or not as I have had mild colds during that period.

Re: High-Dose Flu Shot
2021 UPDATE :
as has been the case for the last couple of years, this morning we drove over to our local Walgreens Pharmacy to get our flu shot .... to our surprise, we had to go back home, get on a computer and book an appointment to get our shots .... that was the case earlier this year with Covid but its the first time we've had to book an appointment for the regular flu shot

Re: High-Dose Flu Shot
I’ve had a few shots of whiskey and will get the whiskey-flu. I’m not sure covid works that way.
