I easily made an appointment at a CVS half an hour from here, and I brought what they said I would need: a mask, ID, and insurance card. After she spent some time on the computer, the woman there said, "Can I see your card?"
"What card?" I asked.
"Your CDC vaccination card."
"I couldn't find it."
Then she asked the question I've heard on TV a hundred times, "What do you mean you couldn't find it?"
I was wearing a mask so she didn't see me almost laugh. I thought a moment and said, "I wasn't able to locate it."

No card - no shot. I went home, dug around, and found it. Now I have my third Covid shot and the "super" flu shot, so I'm set for at least six months. The extra strength flu shot is recommended for people over 65.

Something to look forward to down the hills in Newburgh.

Again, I didn't feel anything in either shoulder.

Congratulations. We got our "senior" flu shot a few days ago. Moderna Covid shot not available yet. Checking things off the list, one at a time.

Getting my Pfizer booster tomorrow and waiting a week or so to get my flu shot. Having watched my son and wife (both vaccinated) go through a breakthrough infection ~6 months after the initial doses, I want to avoid that. Neither required hospitalization, but it wasn’t fun, and my son’s 4 children (too young to be vaccinated) had full blown infections. They have recovered, and I hope/pray there are no lasting effects other than missing the first few weeks of school.

Anti-Vaxers PLEASE don’t hijack this thread (again).

I'm waiting to see what the CDC and FDA recommend. I got my first shots in March, and early on they were saying the booster should be 8 months after the first one, which would be November for me.

The CDC is now recommending a Pfizer booster for those over 65 or immunosupressed - the Moderna and J&J recommendation is pending. The graphs I’ve seen show a decrease in protection after 6 months from the last vaccine. My 2nd was 2/10, so I’m a couple weeks shy of 8 months.

I had my third "booster " shot last month as soon as they said we could. I'm on a immunosuppressant for RA, so I went online to CVS and filled out the online form, got my appointment time and went right over to get it......no problem. I want to be well and , and my family to be well.

My covid shot was arranged by the school district, and we had to go to a shared site about 50 miles away to get it. I remember them giving me a card, but had no recollection at all of it after that... I searched the car, all my jacket pockets, the nooks and crannies in my wallet where my medical certificates hide out. Nope. Not a sign.

At a pre-school-year meeting, I spoke to the head of transportation, and asked if she could give any help in finding out about it. Within a day or so, she sent me a phone number of someone in the health department, who subsequently gave me an email address for the state government people who do that sort of thing.

She sent me a form, which I had to fill out and send back, along with a photo of my drivers license. It said on the form that it could take 6 to 8 weeks to get anything.

About 2 weeks later, I get this certificate through the mail. It isn't the same as the original (ask me how I know...) but it is a legal document.

Less than 3 hours later, I found the original... It was under the phone charger, and I am sure that I must have had a good reason for putting it there. Oh well...

Back to colonoscopy prep, day 2 *sigh*

Six months! Recommended by the CDC.

Moderna is available in this area. Take a look here.

No Jerry, you’re “not set for 6 months”, however you have reduced your risk to another level.
