Dunno. There’s the argument for starting the clock ticking again by getting the shot now as we wait on new developments, too, and it’s not as if a better shot is imminent. And recommendations about getting this fourth booster are mixed. Don’t misunderstand me; I definitely plan to get it. I’ll get as many as they’ll give me. But while I’m still essentially in hunker-down mode, it seems as if it’s something I might like to keep in reserve.

Me too. I've read articles quoting different doctors with different opinions as to whether or not it's a good idea to get the booster right now if you're over 50 but basically healthy.
