    I’ll probably get it when I get my flu shot but the messaging and communication isn’t great

      I’m actually a little surprised there isn’t a combined influenza/covid vaccine, unless there’s a storage or incompatible carrier issue I’m not aware of (immunology is not my field, so this is entirely possible). As an independent consultant, getting sick pulls money out of my pocket, and being down a week due to flu can cost me $5k or more in income. Plus, I don’t want any of the exciting long term complications, even if rare, from a bout with Covid. I say stick me with a needle and slap my ass on the way out the door.
