I'll go out on a limb here and say....so what? Why do you need a booster if you are "not over 65 or at high risk of serious illness"? They write correctly that this is not out of step with the rest of the world...in the UK it is age 75.

I know where you're going with this, and next stop is measles vaccines, but this in itself does not seem outrageous.

I'm sorry, but we have a Covid vaccine shot available year round here, and it's not age limited. You can get one in the season, FOC. Also, the flu shot as well. Also, FOC. How come you don't see a problem with this?

Well you guys are just fancy then...most places either do not pay for it, or do not recommend yearly boosters for Covid without a compelling reason. (France, Germany, England, Denmark - that's as far as I bothered looking). We still have the seasonal flu shot as well, but it would appear most countries feel like Covid immunization has been dealt with. Now try to score some Yugoslavian horse de-wormer, and you'll get a taste of freedom.

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you, we're rigging the system. Also, we don't go bankrupt when diagnosed with a cancer and we don't have to check in our savings when we break a leg. I know, it's a fucked up place to live in, but we somehow manage.
