Now, on TV tonight, they say if you are 65 or over, you need TWO doses....one now and a repeat in 6 weeks.....I need to repeat my pneumonia shot too....it has been 4 years.....
We got ours at CVS. They gave me the standard vaccine, but hubby is over 65 and because of that they gave him something different called a "high dose" vaccine. It has 4X the antigen compared to the standard vaccine. It was more expensive but cheaper than having to get two, and he didn't have any side effects.
