Upon reflection, I'm going to get the shingles shot this afternoon. There's way too much uncertainty for my plan-loving INTJ self whatever I do, but once I get this out of the way "when to get the shingles booster" is no longer one of the balls I'm trying to juggle.

Good choice, Susan. Just take that variable out of play.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think that's a good decision, Susan.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Another advantage to the vaccine is that the fewer people who can be infected, the fewer bodies that the virus can use to mutate into a new - and possibly deadlier - variant. So yes, get the shot when you can.
I still like the kid who called it the "Fauci Ouchie".

Timelies all!
Busy day at work, but Wednesdays often are.

Here to validate your decision to get the Shingles vaccine today as well, Susan!
You are not "playing the BMI card"
Word. I'm an introvert who works from home, and I'm very much kicking myself for not jumping on an appointment when some were available early Monday morning when San Francisco said I was eligible because of my BMI. As soon as a slot opens up at a Walgreens or CVS, I'm taking it. Unless I somehow magically lose enough weight that I no longer qualify.

After getting the 2-shot COVID vaccine, how long would I need to wait on the shingles one? I mean, I’m not giving up my Friday slot, but I’m scheduling a bunch of medical stuff after the second shot +14 days.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Susan, I'm here to echo shrift and everyone else - I watched Jim's brother and mine deal with repeated flare-ups, and you'd best believe I was shoving my arm at my doctor as soon as the supply increased.

And Dr. Google says 14 days after the second shot. Which fits my plans.

Dang it my dad is in the hospital with chest pains. Tests with no results so far, sounds like, and I'm glad my mother told me now rather than waiting until they know more or he's home or something, but argh. Worried.
ETA he and mom are both fully vaccinated and past the 14-days since the 2nd shot, so that's less to worry about
EATA he says he's having stent surgery tomorrow but he also says they haven't found the problem, so IDK
