@mayofeb2020- I agree that it might be too early but supposedly we are supposed to get them earlier this year. CDC recommends September/October for this year. If you haven't gotten pneumonia shots then those ae advised also.

Perhaps this will help

@merpreb, Thx for these site links. I thought I was pretty checked out on the annual flu but hadn't realized there were antiviral meds available. Checked out this site from CDC on "approved" antivirals for flu: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/treatment/whatyoushould.htm

Also can't remember how long the pneumonia vacc. stays effective? Need to check with PCP for my last one.

@merpreb I’ve been thinking about the flu shots. I jus read something that says they have to be timed around a rituxan dose— do you know anything?
