My parents doctor just recommended against the flu shot for them. They are 85. Maybe there still are good doctors out there.....

M2 - while I don’t think any of my doctors would be this honest, I will say that these past two years that I have been declining the flu shot none of my doctors seem to be all that concerned or care that I’m not getting it. You’d think if they were that horrified that my chronically ill, immunocompromised self was not going to “protect myself” they’d have offered much more vocalized objections but, nope, not much a word. A couple tried a slight COVID jab guilt trip or subtle sarcastic undertone in my office notes but, most just accepted that I was not interested in getting it with my anaphylaxis and mast cell disorder.
