Quick add-on:
There's a new vaccine for RSV (respiratory syntactical virus) this year that's being pushed hard. There are two manufacturers: GSK and Pfizer. The data on each is very similar: safe and effective. RSV is a respiratory virus that kills a similar number of seniors to flu, not quite as many, but still high. If you have risk factors, like lung disease or compromised immunity, or a complex medical history, you should do a thorough assessment of your risk with your doctor. You may want that protection. However, if you're not interested in trusting "safe and effective" until there are a season or two of post-marketing data, that's a very fair position as well, especially after the egregious breaches of trust with COVID.
