I read that a new vaccine/booster which will include omicron protection is coming out in September.
What are everyone's thoughts on this? I have been a staunch supporter of vaccines, have gotten the original two, a booster in 9/21 and second booster in 4/22. I contracted covid in 6/22 and had a very mild case. I took Paxlovid for 1 1/2 days (that's all I could handle with the nasty taste).
Now I have to say I am a bit hesitant to get another booster. My husband's cardiologist advised him not to get the 2nd booster because of his Afib. (My husband had a mild case of covid also in 6/22). My 15 month old grandson's pediatrician advised against him getting the booster (not clear why). The baby also had covid (mild) in 5/22.
It bothers me that some doctors seem more hesitant on boosters.
I think I now know of more people who have had covid than not. I do not know anyone who has gotten real sick with it (even some very elderly folks), vaccinated or not.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do regarding this latest booster. I will get my flu shot though.
