In 2019 I asked my doctor if I should have my vaccinations boosted because I was traveling for work. He asked if I was traveling to third world countries. I said I was. He asked which ones and I replied, "The US."
He boosted all of my vaccinations and added a couple of others.
I swear I read this exact comment about the UK after brexit...
Good call.
I had them all as a kid but with the way things were going in the US I was afraid of bringing measles home. My wife has had the MMR four times and it doesn't take. She had it as a kid then she was tested before each kid and they gave it to her again because she didn't have antibodies.
i asked about meningicoccal , they would refuse if they dont think your in a risk population group. i was about varicella once, but i already shingles a long time ago, and that indicates a chickenpox infection, (the vaccination dint prevent or lessen the effect shingles) as i already had the viremic version of varicella.
I'm in Canada. My doughter got the meningococcal vaccine on her way to university but we had to pay for it. We then paid for it for our son who is in highschool. I got the RSV vaccine last year because I was receiving chemo. We can get the pneumococcal if we are immunecompromised or over...65?
I don't think that they can prevent the shingles once you've had chickenpox. There is a drug on the market, famciclovir, that is extremely effective at treating shingles if you get it within 72 hours of the onset of symptoms. I had shingles in my 30s and got famvir and had a really easy ride.
Never happened

Here's a Facebook post from 2021 after getting the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine talking about getting all those vaccinations two years before, in 2019.
Fuck you.
