    I’m not them, but I’ve also had 6 shots.

    My condition is wanting to minimize the likelihood of passing covid on to someone who is less able to fight it off.

      Right but the reasoning for not going for the newest was described as the newest is not effective for the current variant, and would not improve chances beyond the base of 3 (or 4 based on product).

      I’m not antivaxx or sealioning, that’s what I was told and I’m curious.

          2 very busy ICU docs who deal with many flu, COVID and other respiratory critical illness. If you must know, both democrats, completely non-maga non-rogan types.

          I’ll take their advice, as I did on getting the flu shot a few weeks ago.

          If you have a source suggesting the current vaccine is recommended for younger, healthy folks, I’d love to discuss it with them.

            Here’s Canada’s official immunization guideline. This isn’t new either, that’s been the recommendation ever since the 3rd shot or so. Every new shot has been recommended to be taken for all immunized adults, 6 months after the previous. The ones following the guideline have done 6 shots by now.
