Got a flu shot today. I was in CVS the other day and the girl

At the counter asked me if I wanted one. I declined then but it did remind me that the other virus will arrive soon. My wife and I went over to CVS today. Easy Peasy.

Will likely get my flu shot then. I will ask her about the Moderna booster as well should I need that also.

the one deemed expected this year, or the one with 4x the antigens of flu(s) or the one that has an adjuvant ingredient to give a greater response of antibody protection from the vaccine?

I want to get the flu shot spaced out from a CoVid booster; as of today, the booster looks unlikely to be opened up before the New Year...so flu shot now - CoVid, some months later. Yes?

I believe it was described as 'high dose'. had no idea there were three. They did say don't get a Covid booster for 3 to 4 weeks. I'm going to get a booster but I'm not desperate the way I was last spring.
