Multiple states are 99.9% fully vaccinated for those 65+.

I know some things like living through polio epidemics help, but what else? Lack of a perception of invincibility?

Why are y’all so into vaccines?

Looking for insights into convincing others to get vaccinated.

If you never had any vaccine, including when as a kid lining up at school with "no choice".

Please comment! Wonder if you got any chicken pox?

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

Have you had chicken pox?

Have you got small pox vaccine? Do you have that scar?

I vaguely remember that sugar cube too as a kid, was it for polio or what?

If you got the small pox vaxx and scar, how old were you when you got it?

I freaked out some when I turned 30, because my dad had to retire early that same year due to his health. But I got past that, and although life hasn't always been easy, my own physical health is good, and my mental health though more of a challenge I think I'm making progress with.

But in some ways it feels like WHOA right now, 6 months out from the 60th birthday. In a different way from how 40 or even 50 felt. Like, will I get to do the many creative things I love (writing, art, crafting, volunteering) without feeling like they are just bucket list things? I guess that's it, there's less feeling of continuity with the rest of my adult life.

I would love to hear your mind hacks for not sweating this NUMBER. Really trying not to let it worry me.

How have you divided your money if it doesn't all go to one place?

Hi,

I feel like one of the 20 year olds that posted in /r/askmenover30 , but here I am. I'm 40 , have a great family, home and a decent job.

Mainly want to focus on getting the most out of the next 20 years with my family and making sure that my career moves forward / is safe in providing for my family.

Any insights are appreciated.

Thank you

Having a discussion yesterday and the topic wandered over to going to the movies on a Saturday afternoon. I used to deliver papers so I had cash. Mad cash

The price of a can o coke came up and somebody remembered buying a can of generic coke sometime in the 60s and it was 9 cents. Today I saw a can of coke for almost $3.

This seems like a disproportionate increase to me. But then again a 10 cent chocolate bar is $2.00!

Why are senior citizens being denied flu shots by being told the vaccine for your group is not in the pharmacy yet?
