Hi @bayarea58
You could always double check with your doctor, pulmonologist or pharmacist for their medical opinion. There are a small percentage of people who can’t get the vaccine for medical reasons.
I’ve been taking a Covid vaccine every six months - in October when available and again in March. It is a booster this spring since there isn’t a change to adjust to new variants. It gives our immune system a boost to protect against serious infection or hospitalization if you get the virus.
Some younger people - with no chronic disease - may not be getting this spring booster, but the pharmacist told me that more 60+ folks are getting the vaccine and anyone who might be at risk for significant illness after an infection.
I believe researchers are working on a formulation for an annual Covid Vaccine shot and even a nasal spray vaccine to protect at the source.
We can be thankful for scientific research!
