I went to the foot and ankle doc today for an slight injury and had an interesting experience. It was my first visit to this practitioner and as we were going over my history, he asked if I've had the pneumonia vax and the flu vax. I answered yes to both. I was anticipating the next question, about the death vax, but he never asked it. For once, I kept my fat mouth shut and we went on to discuss my issue. He gave me a course of treatment and a brace for an inflamed tendon and that was it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Yep, it’s called pneumovax 23 and it has been around for years. It uses weakened live bacteria and protects against a number of pneumococcal strains. It is definitely is indicated for we “golden agers”. It’s a good idea for everyone else.
