Hi Cynthia - For myself, especially knowing that my Natural Killer Cells are at 17%, I continue with never getting any Evusheld, Plaxavid, Covid, Flu, RSV, Pneumonia, etc etc Shots. I’ve had 3 Covid events - the first in Jan 2020, before they declared it was Covid, was a very nasty two week cold. The last two have been sniffles, with a very low grade few the first day.

I can tell from my Labs, my WFPBased Diet and Supplements that, at 71 in two months, I’m more resilient than I’ve been in years - very much like I use to be 10 to 15 years ago. It’s easy to tell when you’re feeling very well. Just finished 2.5 hours at TopGolf - outdoors, fresh air and pushing myself. My neuropathy stinging in my feet just disappears into the background and goes unnoticed.

I worked in the vaccine industry. I trust and get the vaccines my Dr. tells me to get. There is nothing alive in the vaccines that will hurt you.

Larry happy birthday to you and we are the same age 71 in November myself
I take many supplements I had all the vaccines post SCT
I do get the COVID only because I know so many friends that have gotten very sick and have long COVID now
Every one has their own way of dealing with this disease but I do agree with a good diet mostly plant based and I do take a lot of herbs etc . My protein is low so I do eat some eggs, yogurt and occasionally fish and chicken I grow some veggies and eat organic
I know plant based is the way to go , trying to get there.

I would wait for the cold symptoms to be gone. I just got my seasonal flu shot today. I put it off a couple of weeks because I also had a cold. I had my Covid shot early September. I had my RSV shot last year in September. My doctor has encouraged me to get all of the immunizations available, but I would consult you Physician to get his or her opinion.

But be sure to include protein from something.
