So you think a booster designed for the specific spike protein of the original variant will work for a new variant with different spike proteins?

Did you get the year before last’s flu shot for this year’s strain of the flu, too?

Yes. Just not as well.

All indications are that the vaccines are less effective against Omicron, but still provide some protective effect.

I’ll take whatever edge I can get.

It seems likely that I could be exposed in the coming weeks.
