I think generally, if you’re younger and healthier, you probably don’t need to worry about any further vaccinations (or any at all) considering the nature of COVID today. Especially considering they don’t prevent transmission either.
To your point, that’s why Europe is heading in the direction they are.

I am getting the Bivalent Pfizer booster when it comes out. If it lowers my symptoms when I inevitably get COVID again I am all for that.

I’m very healthy and still sub 50, but I decided to get the Pfizer bivalent while I was in the US. I’m not concerned about dying from it, but like Knut said, if I can keep the symptoms minor or non-existent when I eventually get it I’d prefer that.
And for others info, after 36 hours I’ve had virtually no side effects (mildly sore injection site and slightly tight back, but really nothing of note).

What's wrong with the Moderna Bivalent? It's available now.

The one we have in Canada is targeted at BA1/2 which isn't circulating anymore, the Pfizer(and Moderna they have in the US) is targeted at BA4/5, which is pretty much 100% of what we have. Is there a functional difference? I haven't seen any comparisons yet, but it is early. So I could see why people would want the one that targets the circulating strains more specifically.

Mice studies showed better neutralizations with the Pfizer ba4/5 bivalent vaccine. We should be able to get it in Alberta starting Oct 25

Ya, I know there is some evidence of that, I'm just not sure if the practical difference matters.

Is every eligible for the bivalent vaccine? If so, is it available everywhere?
I got covid 3 months after my booster shot and it took me out good, took me about 4-5 months to get back to somewhat normal. So, I am not sure if I should get this booster now or wait.

Got Moderna covalent booster today (after 3 Pfizer) with yearly flu vaccine today.
And now back to not thinking about Covid for another year (6 months?).

Dumb question perhaps but why do people say they have two vaccinations and two boosters (assuming they do) instead of four vaccinations? I say I have four vaccinations.

The dosage can be different in the boosters.

Had the bivalent Pfizer booster on Friday and had pretty much zero effects outside of a sore arm. My first shot AZ was by far the worst by far
So that's 4 vaccine doses in total and 2 bouts of covid after the first 3 shots. Does that count as 6G?
