I have three shots. I don’t believe I’ll be getting a fourth. Someone needs to explain how your immune system just forgets what a spike protein looks like within 18 months after 3 doses.
Especially if there’s a reasonable chance you’ve come in contact with the virus over the last year and a half, and your boosted immune system disposed of COVID like Uncle Phil tossing Jazz onto the lawn. My dog gets a rabies vaccine every three years, Bortadella every year, presumably because she’s not constantly beset by rabid or bortadellish pathogens.
I understand the concept of variants, but are these vaccines tailored to them? I don’t see how they could be.
So no. Three is enough. I’m not going to the hospital and I’m not dying with three.
Call me irresponsible.

The vaccines being used right now are the OG formula, but Omicron specific ones are expected late fall/early winter. It seems most boosters are recommended 6 months after the last, but we're talking 4-5 months until Omicron ones are available, so it's a tough balance timing-wise if you want the variant specific one as soon as it's available.
