@subjacentish Before #covid it was only the yearly #flue. Now its #covid and the #flu mutating happily besides each other

There's a nasty new #flu variant spreading globally, & of course #COVID continues to mutate & spread too. Get both #vaccines if you can soon. Mask up in public places especially at high risk times like holiday travel.

"Ambulance Impending Alert issued (Tokyo Fire Department)"
"Currently, the Tokyo Fire Department is experiencing a high demand for ambulance dispatches, resulting in ongoing strain on emergency medical services."
"We kindly ask for your cooperation in managing your health and using ambulances appropriately and only when necessary."
FLU TO HIT HARD!
Flu season is just beginning, but doctors are already on high alert
While flu levels are still low, a strain that has wreaked havoc in the U.K. and Canada is behind most cases so far in the U.S., mostly affecting kids

Even before #COVID, I've already been doing everything in this excerpt / screenshot's second paragraph on planes for literal decades. Glad to see those methods mentioned here!

You only need to get the RSV shot once.
Quote from the notice linked below:
"The RSV vaccine is not currently an annual vaccine, meaning people do not need to get a dose every RSV season. Eligible adults can get an RSV vaccine at any time, but the best time to get vaccinated is in late summer and early fall before RSV usually starts to spread in communities."
See: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/s-0626-vaccination-adults.html
I got my RSV shot a couple of years ago; get a flu & Covid shot annually; and got 2 variants of the Shingles vax (Shingrix & Zostavax) & 3 variants of the Pneumonia vax (PCV 15, 20 & 21) previously.
There's a 4th type of pneumonia vax (PPSV23) that was most recently released.
Asked my PCP about it & he said I didn't need it, since I got the other 3 already but, from what I've read, PPSV23 covers some things the others didn't. So, I'm still thinking about getting it too.
I'm getting my Flu and RSV vaccine together tomorrow. My wife mentioned that she heard there may be some questions about whether that combo is advisable or not.
So far from what I can tell from quality sources:
1) It's definitely safe to do so, but you might "feel it" more the day after.
2) There was some question as to whether there may be interference from both together...
3) ...but further data indicated the data that led to that concern wasn't statistically significant and there is data showing getting them separately is not different from getting them together.
"Both Pfizer and GSK previously reported, in late 2023, noninferiority of coadministration versus sequential administration of their RSV vaccines with licensed seasonal quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV)"

I'm not high risk for RSV in terms of age, but I got something stronger than a cold that wasn't the flu a decade ago and it damn near killed me. Put me out for over a month.
