    Exactly. Some people get a flu shot every year. Now it’s going to be a flu shot and a covid shot.

    Virus evolves, scientists do their best to predict which particular variants are or will become most prevalent. Vaccinations are made and administered based on that data. Rinse and repeat.

    There are times when the models are wrong or variants progress in unexpected ways. In those cases you might see a mid-year booster.

    Vaccines don’t guarantee you won’t get sick, but they reduce the severity and time to recover if you do get sick with one of the relevant variants. They may even prevent the occurrence of most symptoms depending on the person. .
