50% coverage or thereabouts is not great IMO. You can beef up your immune response with zinc, and good Vit D status.

I've also seen it posted that Medicare won't pay for it for seniors, and it costs about $200.00!

I'd check with your insurance company.

I worry about the consequences of any vaccine for people with PN. The adjuvants in these vaccines can stir up the immune system and cause over-reactions and some nasty sequels.
