10 minutes to get it, anywhere from 0 days to a week to get over the side effects. Source: personal experience. If the calculation changes from “one and done” to “do this every few months on a schedule”, I’m leaning towards taking my chances with the virus. I’ll reconsider if there’s a newer, broad spectrum vaccine available though.

If you are one of the lucky few that doesn’t get unpleasant side effects for 24-48 hours afterwords, this may be true.

I am not, and anecdotally nobody close to me is either. It’s not a pleasant experience that I want to repeat ad infinitum. Particularly if it’s not even going to stop the current C19 variation.

Bullshit, I spent hours trying to get an appointment for a booster, just like I spent hours last spring trying to find a vaccination appointment (which was 90 minutes away). And I lost a day to the 2nd shot, and another day to the booster, as both wiped me out for 24 hours.

You might have a point if I could have walked in to any pharmacy, knowing that I could get a walk-in vaccination. But that hasn't been the case in Redmond, WA. So while you say "non-event", I say "what a pain in the ass (and arm) that was".

Plenty of people who get the booster have a low grade fever and sickness for a day or two.
