USA folks over 50 years old: Some months back, the CDC started recommending that people 50+ years old get pneumococcal vaccine, against pneumonia, which you don't want. (Previously, they recommended the vaccine for people 65+ years old.) I procrastinat gave my health plan a chance to nudge all 50+ folks to get it. Months later, I gave up on that and asked my doctor about it. She quickly* said yep, get that vax, and set me up to get an appointment. If you're 50+ and were waiting for your doctor to nudge you, maybe it's time you nudged them instead.

*OK, first I had to slog through an irrelevant "answer" from an AI assistant and then repeat my question, but still quick overall.
