In reply to the discussion: Vaccines at Walgreens tonight- the LOONS you may encounter [View all]Meowmee
(9,212 posts)26. Updating this with a link on polio vaccines in NY
I think my doctor will approve this because Im not that far from these areas where the polio virus has been detected. The updated recommendations since June 2023 is adults should get a booster if they are in an area where they can be exposed or they travel to an area of exposure. A booster is recommended if its over 10 years since youre full series. A full series is recommended for adult adults if they never had the full series.

Scare tactics? I get vaccinated on everything, but 3 was too many, but I'm fine with it. Enjoy your evening.

I quit going to Walgreens because they are useless. I'm lucky to have better options.

Keep in mind they tend to be scared shitless someone is going to sue them if they get ANY thing wrong ...
