Isn’t the right time for a booster just always?

There’s a fair bit of evidence that it doesn’t hurt, but it might be good enough to get a fresh booster every six months. In the US, you can do that if you’re age 65+; otherwise stuck with one/year.

So we know your doctor, who you have been with for years and intimately knows your medical history, has made the informed determination that you need this medication to survive.

However, we don’t want to pay for it, even though our formulary says we can, so we hired this pharmacy specialist to decide for you and your doctor that you don’t qualify.

Thanks for continuing to pay us a lot of money for not covering your meds!

The COVID vaccine is not sterilizing, meaning it does not guarantee prevention of disease. Instead it prevents serious infections that’ll put you into the hospital or worse. The flu vaccine works the same way.

I absolutely will take a shot that turns a COVID infection from hospitalization into a bad cold.

It’s effective at keeping you out of the hospital, which is what matters.

If you want to not get the disease, it’s going to mean wearing an N95 or equivalent mask whenever you’re inside with people from outside your household, and having the rest of your household do the same.
