I am a “boomer” and according to your observation that “they love their shots” I guess I am an anomaly! I had sporadic health care insurance coverage over the course of my adult life. If my job didn’t provide it I did not have any healthcare insurance. I was rarely ill and what medical attention I did need I went to community clinics or alternative holistic providers. I never got a flu shot, nada! I got regular health Insurance when I turned 65. and signed up for Medicare. (Which I hate and hate The System!) My first PCP wanted to give me the flu, pneumonia, shingles, etc. etc. Shots. I respectively declined and told them to never ask me about them again and to note it on my medical records, as I would NEVER get any of those Shots. I try to see my PCP as little as possible. And when I do for ‘routine’ consults like the “yearly exam” and blood work follow up I request a video consult, as I refuse to wear a mask in the building they are in and in their office!
