Some never were boosted, some received the latest booster. I personally received the first booster years ago and nothing since. All with similar outcomes of mild disease, fortunately. Just my personal data points. YMMV.

I'm like you. I got the 1st booster and nothing since. I have never had Covid, that I know of.

All in my family but one never got any of the Covid shotsand the only to get a shot was a son in Mass.who was sick for two weeks with Covid,.He had to get the inoculation for continued employment.
My better half checked to see if she needed the shot to enter Sweden to visit her cousin was told ' mot needed for entry.

I only have original shots. I’m not against shots, it’s just every time I was about to get a shot I got Covid, then I didn’t know if I needed a shot. I never had flu shots and rarely got sick. Maybe it’s changing with age…

There are definitely more Covid during colder times. We cruise 5 times a year. Beginning of January, mid March, end of May, beginning of September and Thanksgiving week. People complain about getting sick on or after cruise much more from Thanksgiving till March.

I've had COVID twice. Both times happened in the same year IIRC. Both were after my initial two doses of vaccine. Both times, it was like a bad cold for me. I've since gotten all of the boosters recommended and haven't gotten it again that I'm aware of.

I think of this like the flu now . . . getting the booster will help avoid getting it again but won't 100% prevent you from getting it.

I only got the first 3 doses. Haven't gotten anything since so it's definitely been a couple years without one.

My latest round of Covid was identical to the first round I had which was shortly after the 3rd booster.


I'm not lining up to get one again anytime soon.
