I was supposed to get vaccine shot #4 five months after my third, so on January 17. But I delayed my fourth booster to get past the omicron surge. When I get it Super Bowl Sunday I will be one month behind.
Right?
But no. As of last Saturday the CDC said, "Move that fourth shot up. Get it three months after your third shot."
So now I'm three months behind according to this new time table. Tiresome. I wonder if I can argue I should get an extra shot because it's been six months since my third shot, and if we are now doing a shot every three months I should get two.
I'm just waiting for Paxlovid (or as NPR calls it, "hope") to come out, at which point they will tell me I can't take it if I've had a booster in the last year of some such nonsense.
(Actually no, I'm happy and grateful for anything.)
