It’s flu shot season , with vaccines starting in Oct . Here is why you want to get your vaccine at the dr’s office and not the drug store
1. To get vaccine you must be fever free and have clear lungs, so someone must take your temperature and listen to your chest
2. There are many different types of flu vaccine- trivalent, quadrivalent, high dose, inactivated, egg free , and live attenuated spray. Your doctor must determine which one is right and safe for you, not the one kind for all at the drug store
3. If appropriate your doctor has nasal spray to avoid a needle if you wish
So, see you in October!
