Lkdc<p>I'm a great believer in vaccines, but am not always certain which ones I need. Pre-pandemic, I found a CDC chart indicating that people of my age group needed several vaccines, but a pharmacist told me that I should get only a flu shot. He told me I didn't need a tetanus shot every 10 years, as recommended by the CDC. Now, the situation is even more confusing. News reports say that pneumococcal shots are now recommended for people my age, but the CDC's latest chart doesn't indicate that. The chart does, however, recommend Tdap and hepatitis shots, which no doctor has suggested that I get. I don't want to act like I know better than my doctors, but I'm concerned that I may be missing important care.</p><p>I would appreciate thoughts on whether I should try to obtain the following, and whether typical US health insurance would cover them:</p><p>* Tdap (last shot was decades ago)</p><p>* Hepatitis (never vaccinated)</p><p>* Pneumococcal (never vaccinated)</p><p><a href="https://dmv.community/tags/vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Tdap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tdap</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/pertussis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pertussis</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/pneumococcal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pneumococcal</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/hepatitis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hepatitis</span></a></p>
