I am seeing my neurologist on Monday. I’m gonna make sure he says to get it before I do, but I know he will say definitely get it. I haven’t seen him since Covid started, but I did telehealth about 6 mos ago. I am glad that I can see him now, got stuff to talk about.

I did get the Covid Booster Shot on Tuesday. No side effects exept arm where I received the shot. All who are immunocompromised should get one when available in your state.
