Took my mom(80 something) to her family practice MD today for her yearly checkup. This time of year in the hospital setting nurses have to ask every admission if they have had a flu shot and a pneumonia shot. (there is he** to pay if you forget) It seemed strange that no one ever said a word about flu shots at the office. Never asked if she had one or if she wanted one. Also never asked if she ever had or wanted pneumonia shot. I also had questions about the new Shingles vaccine which I forgot to bring up and of course no one mentioned those either. It seems to me that it would be good idea for doctor or staff to ask about vaccines in the elderly.
