Just a bit of background. My wife and I got our vaccines back in the Spring (her Moderna and me Pfizer). I got sick in early November and my Wife did a few weeks later. It was a viral infection but, neither of us had COVID. Flash forward a couple weeks and we both have lingering coughs.

So, in the last couple of days we made appointments with our docs (separate practices) to see if we could get prescriptions to help with our coughing. As usual, the doctors were very inquisitive about our vaccine status, PCR test results, potential exposure to COVID, etc. Yet, at no point did either of our docs ask about our booster status or recommend/encourage us to get the booster.

I also had a long conversation with a Dr friend of mine who is an expert on COVID. He is also a big proponent of the vaccines and was instrumental in convincing us to get ourselves and our kids vaccinated. He also made no mention or recommendation to get a booster.

All 3 of these doctors did recommend that we get the flu vaccine. But again, nothing on the boosters. I can't imagine that if they thought there was substantial benefit to the boosters that not one of the three would have taken the time to recommend it. I find it interesting.
