3. I will need to get the COVID booster shot and the flu shot.

My next quarterly visit will be during the middle of next month. In addition to the vaccines, I need to discuss other issues.

If I interpreted the results of my last blood tests correctly, then I'm anemic which is a shock since I eat plenty of red meat and also take a multivitamin. I am feeling lethargic and have shortness of breath so it would seem a likely diagnosis.

I also need to change some of my prescriptions since they are not on the formulary of my managed care plan.

I still have the scar from the smallpox vaccine on my left arm. It is about the same diameter as a dime and has a ridge in the middle so that is discernable by touch if I run my finger along my arm.
