I tried that, but it is not an option.
to get a shot, I must apply to the Health Department, my name must be on the list approved by the Health Department, when I go to one of the places that administers the shots., and the Health Department wont give me that approval, because Im already vaccinated, until the CDC (US Federal Govt Center for Disease Control) authorizes boosters…
the word booster does not necessarily mean a different design of vaccine… I would be happy to just get a shot of any of the available vaccines.
Here in USA there are still many places that have failed to achieve a 50% vaccination rate. And those people are travelling, without masks on. They come from places that have no Mask Mandate. In fact, the CDC has lifted the mask mandate nationwide now. Technically the no mask option is supposed to be only for people that are fully vaccinated. But there is no way to tell if a person with no mask is vaccinated, or simply chose not to cooperate.
At present, the available vaccines are reserved for people that have not had any.
its kind of like going to a banquet dinner, and everybody gets served, before anybody gets seconds… Right now, half the people in USA, have not been served the first course, and half of those do not want to eat.
this has created a huge reserve of unvaccinated people who are passing the corona around. Unvaccinated people now represent the largest portion of people infected, and dying, in this country. But they are not just a risk to themselves, it affects everyone they come in contact with.
From where I sit, the large number of people who are refusing the vaccine, are my main risk. The unvaccinated are the reason I want to extend my protection, by getting another shot.
I have not seen my family in Cali in almost 2 years. I do not feel protected enough to go travelling through airports, on a 4 month old vaccine. fwiw, the J&J vaccine I got was a single shot, and has a lower protection rate than the dual shot vaccines.
this is also true of people that had covid, they are less protected than people that are vaccinated. Unvaccinated people that had covid, can catch it again. But most people that had covid, mistakenly think they are immune for life, so they do not wear masks either.
