So, unusually, they're encouraging everyone to get flu shots now, not October:

Ideally, everyone would be vaccinated against the flu by the end of October, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Korpics said September — now — is a great time to get vaccinated against influenza.

“Don’t wait,” she said.

Michelson agreed.

“Flu vaccines are currently available,” she said. “Go get your annual flu vaccine now.”


I, for one, don't need further encouragement.


Haha no.

(see last year's Siderea flu-shot discussion)

I mean, I can't complain too hard given some of the horror stories I hear about trying to get a hospital bed in the States right now. "Hospital beds are available but flu shots are not" is far better than the reverse.

I'm thinking that this year I will *get* a flu shot but will not trek across the county chasing them like I did last year: I'll wait until they're available at the closest pharmacy, or at a pharmacy I happen to be near while running errands. If I didn't have a respirator (just got another two pairs of P100 filters in!) I'd feel a lot more urgency about it, though.
