vaccinated

And today I got the flu vaccine. They're all quadrivalent this year, according to the person who gave me the injection (she asked if I had any questions, and I asked if what I was getting was trivalent or quadrivalent). They gave me a grocery discount coupon, and I'm having minimal if any side effects. (I'm sneezing and somewhat congested, but that's been happening in the afternoon/evening for the past few days. I hoped that was over, but apparently not.)

Since I had the tetanus/whooping cough/diphtheria booster shot a few months ago, I think I'm now up-to-date on everything relevant. So, not the ones that are referred to as "travel vaccines," nor anything that came out when I was too old to receive it. Amusingly, I had forgotten about it (since it wasn't recorded on my neat chart, only in Evernote) until I looked at the form the pharmacy clerk gave me, which asks for dates of previous vaccinations, if known. I got the list out to check on my last flu vaccine, and was reminded that I'd had the TDaP recently. When I got home, I checked the Mount Auburn "MyChart" page to confirm that, then updated the chart.

Having written the above, I'm wondering if I should get the hepatitis A vaccine (I've had the Hep B one). There is no vaccine for hepatitis C; there is a screening test, which Mount Auburn Hospital has listed as overdue since the day I was born. They also think I've been overdue for a physical since my senior year of high school. I have been tested for hepatitis C, but in Seattle, so it's reasonable that they don't know about it.
