Why would anyone get a booster ? They do not stop infection and natural immunity is proven to be equal to any booster. Also children should stay far away from any booster

No

Awesome. Thanks

Yep had mine today maybe the last one I have 4 in the last couple of years seems a bit too much and unsustainable will continue the annual flu

It's no, & double no for me. Never had flu shot, never had flu. Also never had Covid even though I've cared for family w/Covid -no antibodies either, checked it. Also don't get chicken pox & never had shot either. Why should I get a shot I don't need? To make you feel better? No.

Are you turning to a sales rep now?

That, surely, would be a boost to your shoulders!

Also a reminder to exercise, eat right in order to provide an environment inside the body to fight disease. Stop obesity and you prevent a lot of disease.
