I regret not looking into getting a booster privately - vaccines are no longer available to under-75s in the UK on the NHS, but they are still available in some high street pharmacies, albeit at around £100 a pop. That said, I would gladly have paid that to avoid the misery of having COVID again, which cost me a full week (which was meant to be a holiday) and has left me with symptoms that are lingering on now into a 4th week.With the amount of infections I hear around me and the severity of this variant, I'm getting my booster this month. I prefer a couple of hours of meh over a week of bleh.
Although it's uncertain where my entire family picked up COVID this time around, it is very likely down to the schools going back - and now the Uni students are back this week, I expect a lot of people will get COVID in the next week or two. Fortunately my recent bout will hopefully act as a de facto vaccine booster, but I will definitely look into getting a shot next summer before the school's go back.
