Cons:
- I've already got Covid, so getting a booster to prevent this seems pointless
- Increased risk of vaccine injury
- Takes a spot away from someone else who could potentially benefit
Pros
- I want to travel, and having the booster seems like it will be required
- what I see as the probable addition of the booster to the vaccine passport
- the only "proof" I have for the natural immunity is my rapid test, which is rather tenuous
Like I say, I expect this to come up more frequently in the coming weeks as more and more people are infected with Omicron, diagnosed with rapid tests and in the vast majority who have not yet had their boosters. So, I thought that I'd bring it up here as a topic of conversation.

We're in the same boat at our house. My wife and kids have previously booked their booster shots, then two of them have since come down with Covid. They are all keeping their appointments (end of this week) as there doesn't seem to be a downside to getting boosted even if they are recently recovered.
