>>getting an adequate sleep duration during the night after the vaccination may enhance your chances of getting an adequate response to vaccines.

As a side sleeper, this is the reason I don't get more than one vaccination at a time. Leave me with both arms uncomfortable and I'm not going to sleep well.

That said, I haven't had a DPT booster for about a decade, so that's going to have priority over seasonal influenza.

The state I live in (MA) has a system for tracking vaccine dates for each person. My personal physician wanted my Covid-10 vaccination card so he could get the info in there, which suggests that records got missed in the interest of getting as many people safe as possible. If you live in a state that has this service (no idea which ones do) and you've had one or more C-19 immunizations, it might be worth bringing up with your PP. FWIW, I know it's time for DPT because of the tracking system here.

Agreed, Shingles is no-fooling terrible. One of my swimming buddies got it. Large (and very painful) rash (got a full view in the locker room) - and the pain doesn't go away when the rash finally does. My buddy had pain where the rash had been for years.

As mentioned, Shingles is from chickenpox (varicella-zoster) virus hiding in nerve cells. If you haven't had it and have never been vaccinated (another reason for that state database) know that you can catch it from someone with active shingles (same virus) by contact with the rash. You can still get vaccinated (2 doses 28 days apart). Skip the misery.
