"Senior" flu shot [View all]

I live in Lexington, KY, and I went to Kroger, CVS, and Walgreens. All of them were out of the stronger dose for seniors and didn't know if or when they would get it. I settled for the regular dose.

This is outrageous as it is only mid-October. Has anyone else run into this? If you haven't gotten your flu shot, you should try to get it ASAP.
