On Sept. 14, Dr. Guy Beiner, a professor of history and chair of Irish Studies at Boston College, visited UWG to deliver his talk titled "Remembering the Forgotten Pandemic: The Spanish Flu and What It Tells Us about COVID."

"It's personal preference — there's no medical reason to do it one way or another," said Dr. Adam Ratner, a pediatric infectious disease special...

The 65-and-Up Flu Shots Are Safe and Have Only Mild Side Effects, if Any Seniors who get the higher-dose or adjuvanted standard-dose flu shots are more likely to report side effects than people who get the standard dose. Still, most people had either no side effects or mild ones that included pain or redness at the injection site, headache, muscle aches, and malaise (feeling blah). Poland reports that he has received both the standard-dose flu shot and the higher-dose shot. Based on his experience, he doesn't think that most people will register much of a difference when it comes to side effects.
