I had to get my monthly B12 injection the end of August, I asked if I could get the flu shot. They had just gotten it in the day before, but the "Old Age" injection/mixture did not come in. I had to wait until September 26th before I got my next B12 to get my flu shot. I do not know how long I have gotten my flu shots, haven't had the flu - bad cold, but no flu.

I forgot to add that I had my transplant 10 years ago and I am sure I started getting my flu shots while I was on dialysis.

It seems odd to me that the doctors around here don’t have the high dose flu shot so I had to go to Walgreens to get it! I suppose if you go to a geriatric doctor they must have the high dose shot but I go to a regular internist. That brings up something I have wondered about - why do people change to geriatric doctors? My PCP seems perfectly happy having me as a patient, I don’t think he sees a need for me to change. I will ask him about it the next time I see him, which hopefully will not be for a while.
