  • If you haven’t gotten one in a bit

    I wish guidance on when to get a booster shot was more prevalent. I remember them pushing the first 3 rounds at various intervals, but it wasn’t too difficult to follow if you were paying attention. Now it’s just “get your COVID shot”, but little-to-no mention of how often.

    I know it’s complicated, depending on if you’ve been vaccinated before, and which version(s) you got. It seems that, assuming you’re an adult who has been vaccinated up to this point, it’s now just an annual shot like the flu, but the CDC page mentions “the updated shot” with a long list of notes about when various versions were updated. It would be nice if it was just “if your last vaccination was more than X months ago, it’s time for another”.

    I guess, if you have questions, the general advice of “talk to your doctor” applies.
