Something I wish was made more clear about COVID vaccines: when new vaccines come out, they're no longer "boosters". They are updated vaccines that need to be taken due to the rise of new variants that are immune evasive. So no matter how long ago since your last vaccination, getting a dose of the most recent update will offer better protection against currently circulating variants.
Please get vaccinated if you can, get vaccinated for flu as well, wear a mask to your appointment, and continue to build the habit of wearing your mask everywhere you go. Even just 20% of people wearing masks consistently would break so many chains of transmission, the peaks would be significantly lower and the resulting death and disability would be lessened substantially.

I was in a medical office yesterday and the medtech asked, "oh why the mask?" and I said "Covid" and she said, "oh, overprotective". I didn't say much after that because I figured she was simply an idiot.

I treat the COVID shots like the flu shots
Every year, we get a flu vaccine. It's for the most common mutations that year.
So, just like the flu, we get a COVID vaccine for the most common mutations that year.
No big deal, I got them both on the same day; next year I will do the same.
@igimenezblb in Scotland, Covid vaccines are no longer provided to people that are not "at risk" (isn't everyone "at risk"??), you cannot get free tests anywhere (not even from the university I work at) and nobody wears a mask anymore. I'm really not seeing the logic there... 😬
