Margie my doctor won’t let me leave the office without the flu shot. Because our immune systems are weak she insisted on the more potent one this year and even suggested a second one later in the season. The pneumonia shot is not an every year requirement. I had mine last year. Good luck.

@margiebanks the latest recommendation on the acapella was the green one. My dr had recommended it to @alleycatkate. You can ask her how she likes it.

@margiebanks Hi Margie, I'm sorry you've been working with a doctor who hasn't worked with you on the preventive side (which can make a big difference!). I can only give you my experience. My doctors over the last 20 years of bronchiectasis and MAC have urged me to have the pneumonia vaccine and the annual flu shot.

@margiebanks …..another resource for hearing re which immunizations are suggested might be to call the local health department and ask an RN. They should have access to latest CDC and state recommendations. tdrell
