As the virus mutates and we learn more about how long the immune response is, yes a booster and possible annual vaccines against CV-19 will most likely be required. It will be just like the annual flu shot.

Charlie is having a press conference going on now... didn't say anything meaningful other than to beg for more doses from the Feds, citing states that are starting to refuse shipments because of lack of demand.

I thought this was an interesting approach...from a state which (surprisingly) got kudos for centralized registration from the outset. It's quantitative, and not arbitrary.

I think my mom (78, and fully vaccinated) is definitely in this camp. Her friends of similar age seem to be scared of these variants, to which my mom usually responds with, "Just wait a few more months, we'll see the Istanbul variant, the Madagascar variant, etc. Who cares"
