Just a FYI, the influenza vaccine can not make you sick as it is a dead virus, if however you get the vaccine and are not feeling good (which you shouldn't get it then) the vaccine can make you feel worse because you were already sick to start with. Anyone over 65 should be getting the High dose influenza vaccine. Also if you had chickenpox when you were little you already have the shingles virus in your body so you should get the shingles vaccine, also if you have had the shingles you should get the vaccine also. Medicare Part D covers the shingles vaccine, Part B does not. Private insurance companies very on whether they cover it in the office or pharmacy or at all.
