It’s looking increasingly like the Covid vaccines may need to be 3-dose vaccines. Not a booster so much as a 3-dose primary course. So far in Oz even boosters are just voluntary. We should be using vaccines to drive down transmission, eliminating Covid, not just trying to prevent hospitalisation. There are some worrying signs of long-term possible side-effects of even mild Covid infection. It’s not a cold, it’s not the flu. Not even vaguely similar.
