@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialDo children receive too many vaccines in too short of a period of time? Something I read on birdsite years ago put this in perspective.
Every day, our immune systems are exposed to antigens from bacteria, virus, fungi, & parasites, including many that can't infect humans. Also, non-pathogens such as plant pollens and the foods we eat.
In that context, a few vaccines are not a big increase.

@jswright61@ruby.social💉💉(Covid-19, Flu)
Harder than it should have been.
It wasn’t that hard - virtual request for script from my Doc. Pharmacy asked if I was high risk and I said yes. $0 for the script. $0 for the jabs.
It’s pretty crazy that I need a prescription for the COVID vaccine, but not the flu vaccine.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caPoked vaccine 💉 💉 arm is a little tender today but not too bad. Lying on it last night wasn’t great.
I am still getting used to the fact we have access to all our health records online.
It’s really cool to be able to see everything from yesterday’s jabs to an X-ray report (though no actual image), to general doc visits and prescriptions going all the way back to 2003. Some Dr notes are visible in reports, but not much.
Oct 21 is the earliest I’ve got a flu or COVID shot since 2022 when I got COVID jabbed on Oct 15 and Flu on the 24th.
The first entries are actually HepB and Tetanus shots I got before backpacking around Europe in summer 2003.
Good times!
