Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I started getting the flu vaccine a few years back, and now it's paired with COVID, so whatever.  I think several other types are more critical at my age.  But I had what probably was flu a few years back and it was not fun.  And I realize the flu vaccine has varying effectiveness.

It's free, for me, and takes an hour or less of my time, I go with the little woman.

I got the Prevnar 20 on my last doc visit (pneumonia).  I had the Shingrix vaccines earlier.  I think both are more important.

The second Shingrix shot got to me.  

I probably am due for a tetanus shot now too.

One can have chicken pox late in life of course.  And it's possible to have had it without knowing it, the symptoms can be very mild.

Shingles in your later years can be excruciating.  My wife and I got the vaccine since we both had chicken pox as kids.  I knew someone in college that got chicken pox as a 21 or 22 year old.  He missed a semester and when he returned he looked way different.  His face was cratered and scared for life.  In the olden days mom's used to take their kids to play dates with a kid who had the pox or mumps.

So two+ years later, I am viewing the survey results on a thread I started. I cannot believe how few of us on here tested + for COVID. I had it 3x, (only 1x or 2x when I posted).
As a group we are either very resilient, or COVID nontesters.
I haven't had COVID now for way over one-year. It's fading from memory.

I was a bit surprised how infrequently I saw mask wearing in Asia.  It was not much different than here, hardly at all.

My wife tested positive.  I had three tests back then at some testing outfit in Copenhagen.  None were positive.  I've done a few home tests here that were negative, I know they may not be reliable.  If I get the sniffles, a bit, I will run a test.  I just haven't been sniffly much at all since 2020.  I THINK if could be because I wash my hands more often.

I would guess some of us who never tested positive were at some point.
