US/UK vaccination differences

[mtbc]

The vaccination timer in my head has started to wake up again as it is now several years since my previous tetanus booster. It turns out that here the NHS provide the ten-yearly boosters only to those at higher risk; in the US they are instead routine so maybe I will just see if I can get one at Walgreens or wherever if I conveniently pass near one when visiting the country. After all, my previous was from CVS in Cambridge, MA. The NHS are also rather later with zoster vaccinations but I will be living back in the US by the time the CDC say it would be due so I shan't have to wait until I am elderly.

Yeah, my doc insisted on updating my tetanus a couple of years ago. I go along.

I've done the two part shingles vaccine. I've seen people have shingles and I'm doing my best not to ever suffer that.

I have a feeling that I'm going to get hit with the pneumonia vaccination next, because I've passed the magical 65 now.
