Very informative, Dr. HJ, and very timely!
What about the Shingle? I wish you to share more information on the shingle vaccine.
I believe I got the shingle shot once long time ago and then another shot recently. But I can't recall whether it was the first shot of two-set new(?) advanced vaccine - when did this new vaccine come out to the market?-. In such case, what is the proper disposition? Get two sets(?) of new vaccine for the shingle all over againlike new?
Thanks for the help!

hope the above will answer your questions.
Shingrix received FDA approval on October 20, 2017, for prevention of herpes zoster (shingles) in adults aged 50 years and older. Shingrix is administered as a two-dose series, with the second dose given anytime between 2 and 6 months after the first dose.

Wow, what an early bird, Dr. HJ, to get up in such early hour to answer me from California!!! Thaaanks!
So, I am not sure when I got the last shot for the shingle but should be more recent than 2017 so that it might be the first dose of this new vaccine- but I do NOT recall whether the pharmacist who gave the shot told me I would need the second dose/shot!!-. But, whether I got the old regimen/shot or the first does of the new regimen/ShingleX, it sounds like I have to start with this new regimen all over again, regardless, don't I?
Can I have this shot together with the flu shot along the end of October as you introduced?
Will remain,

P.S. Your personal opinion if youwould, please!!! I am supposed to go to Orlando, Florida to deliver the lectures to VEITH Symposium in coming November, 16 through 20. VEITH Symposium has been held at New York for many decades till the Pandemic. But due to this pandemic the last symposium in 2020 was postponed to this year but moved to Orlando for this year. Though I agreed to come down to Orlando, I feel so uneasy to travel to Florida - the Organizer already booked the airline for me!!- which is the epicenter of pandemic, in these days!
Yes, I got the booster shot as well more than two weeks ago, but!!!!
If you were me, would you go ahead to move as planned and go down to Orlando through the crowded airport, etc? My wife is so upset with my plan.

Sorry, you are the only one who can answer the question, I believe.

Hmmm!
You are right!
So ambivalent!

Most seniors including myself tend to neglect other immunizations
after getting COVID vaccine and flu shots.
Specifically and additionally we elderly are advised to get shingles shot, pneumonia shot
and Tdap.
This interview is very informative and helpful, I thought.
