I would prefer to get the rest of the world vaccinated before providing booster shots here. But, I will leave that decision to my PCP.
Boosters are going to be a hard sell here without strong evidence that their effectiveness has worn off. And what about the variants? They've had a hard enough time getting people to receive the three vaccines let alone booster shots!
