Flu shots: Did you get it through your transplant team?

My husband and I got out flu shot on Thursday. I called ahead to be sure that that had the senior over 65 dose. After we had our shots, they had 2 doses remaining until they get their next shipment which they will get next week. This is a small pharmacy, and that might not be an issue for the bigger chains, but I would encourage you to call before you go and ask about the supply.

@rosemarya Are they advising us to get it this early? I was thinking of putting it off until next month since they say it only lasts about 6 months. Since we are doing extreme isolation I figure there is almost no chance of getting the flu now whereas if things change we might be more apt to be isolating less in the late winter.

@rosemary I called our not-so-local Wal-Mart, where I got my flu shot last year. Since I start treatment for the multiple myeloma in 2 weeks, I want to get it soon. My husband will get his at the same time. The pharmacist said starting next week they will set up a tent outside and handle the flu shots there.
