I saw into the future

I have received my latest shot in the shoulder, which I have been informed is no longer considered a booster, merely the most current formulation of the COVID-19 vaccine after the fashion of a seasonal flu shot. I am sure it would not assuage the national surfeit of magical thinking if it were further reframed as an exorcistic incantation—the Erra epic in injectable form—but it would entertain me. I'm going to lie down.

I'm getting mine...eventually? The "three months after an infection" guideline would put me in late November or early December, given my impeccably suboptimal timing in finally getting COVID only weeks before the new formulations were available. (And I tested positive after traveling for a family funeral, because the universe was doing That Thing.)

The mild silver lining is that this means I don't have to stress about finding a place to get it now.

(I will still get the flu shot fairly soon.)
