Just FYI we’re entering a summer Covid wave right now (especially western regions in the US); you can see it in the CDC wastewater plot here (and anecdotally a bunch of my friends are suddenly testing positive). www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

I really wish we could choose to do a booster every six months if we were so inclined — feels like I’m catching COVID right at the wane of immunity from the last booster.

You kind of can if you're willing to lie a little bit and pay out of pocket, the drugstores aren't really checking that closely though YMMV and you may have to drugstore hop. The funniest thing is I got mine two weeks ago at the same drugstore chain (not location) that I got my booster in the fall.

If you're willing to pay out of pocket, do you even have to lie? Last time around I decided to get both the Pfizer (mRNA) and Novavax (old fashioned cultured) shots, based on evidence that they interacted in useful ways. First I went to a drug store and paid for a Novavax shot.

Mine wouldn't have given me a booster if I'd gotten the last one. They made that really clear.

Perhaps it's because I'm old. But I was asked zero questions.

Yeah it's cause youre older people 50 and over can get it and its recommended for folks 65 and older. Everyone else it's gaming the system
