I would, since I am in the group that doesn't deal well with this. I also get the flu shot every year and I have had multiple (types) pneumonia shots. I don't recall ever having the flu---but I have had pneumonia at least 4 times---there are something like 99 strains of pneumonia and the shots only cumulatively work against about a third of them.

Damn straigh I would. Having had the flu, I get a flu shot religiously every year. I am a vaccine enthusiast.

And miles to go before I sleep,

You can bet I'll get one. I've been hospitalized 4 times in the past 5 years with pneumonia so I'm already a candidate for serious Covid. The only year I didn't get a flu shot, I got the flu.

I was moderately concerned when in the middle of March I was diagnosed with pneumonia again---just as the covid-19 was surging. I came home from NY the day after being diagnosed and haven't been back since. They might have tested me for the covid-19---but they had no test kits
