I suspect a lot of people will, it's just been an issue of supply - nextdoor has been full of posts from people saying they went to nearby pharmacies and no one had it. Kaiser was doing it by appointment to make sure they had enough, but they just called me this week to say I can do a walk-in now. My appointment is Friday, so no real sense changing it, but it's nice that it's more accessible.

Is there a newer version than the bivalent one? Are those strains the ones currently circulating?

I guess I am stupid but I thought we were supposed to wait until the critical risk group got them first. Well, alright I will get the 5th booster this weekend.
Thanks lemmy
Tried to get one at my PCP and was told I had to go to a pharmacy. Went to my pharmacy and they haven't received it yet. Checked in again today and they still don't have it.
In the US the previous vaccine rollouts were managed by a 4-star General who handled the logistics so well it seemed like vaccines 'magically' appeared where and when they were needed. This year was the first time doing it completely in the private sector and we are witnessing how good corporations are at bungling an operation that features a clear playbook from the prior two years.
Wife and I got our boosters a few days ago, and had no issues other than a little soreness the next day. I do think that the pharmacies and doctors aren't promoting it like they have done before. Not even a sign up at our pharmacy that the Covid booster was available. They advertise the Flu shot, but not Covid.
People are over covid. No one cares about it anymore. I think this is due to bad government messaging during covid.
Yes, it is in fact about the POTUS being a fucking moron that dismantled the pandemic response team and spewed nonsense about the CDC and vaccines on a daily basis.

Mine is scheduled for next week, so that I have maximum protection through the end of February.
