Every BE/NTM expert I have heard speak on the subject says to get all the vaccines. Covid, flu, pneumonia, RSV (if available). Many people die annually of these infections. Everyone thinks not them. What distinguishes you from them? And being at heightened risk due to BE/NTM, really ask yourself, why not me? My husband got H1N1 in his 40’s and it was one of the scariest things we have ever been through, he got so incredibly ill. So unexpected. He was young, no risk factors. He had not gotten a flu vaccine, felt they were unnecessary. I assure you neither one of us has skipped the flu shot since. Vaccines save lives. Maybe yours.
