Reply to comment by shwag945 in The new omicron boosters are very effective at preventing seniors from being hospitalized with Covid. The latest omicron boosters are 84% effective at keeping seniors 65 and older from being hospitalized with Covid-19 compared with the unvaccinated by Wagamaga

Already happening in other countries.. just got my 4th dose.. the vulnerable groups get first priority and then everyone else.. so it's not really a restriction

The redditor implied that only the vulnerable get fully boosted in the future. They were not talking about the typical staggered rollout.

My interpretation of their comment is that they're saying the focus should be on keeping the vulnerable boosted regularly instead of trying to focus on achieving heard immunity, not that the vaccines would no longer be available to anyone who isn't in a high risk group.. like flu vaccines, they're available to everyone but pretty much no healthy young adult takes flu shots in practice
