Perhaps it didn't occur to you may have personal health issues that preclude you from getting this particular vaccine. You may have had a serious reaction in the past, be allergic to an ingredient, or have certain heart conditions or other health conditions that your very smart Democrat doctor is being careful about.

But it does appear that the medical community is recommending the Covid booster for people 65 years and older, barring any health conditions which would preclude the vaccination. I personally would listen to my doctor rather than succumb to scare tactics found on the internet.
I included the political reference because many in this thread believe and have posted that the decision is political, when it's not.
I have none of the issues you listed. In fact, I am very healthy.
I do listen to my doctor when he tells me I don't need it.
