LOTS of folks continue to get yearly booster updates to Covid vaccine, both young and old, plus those in the middle. It makes NO sense not to when Covid is endemic now and continues to morph. Eventually it will be on par with the flu, less deadly but just as easily spread.

At first, doctors thought it could prevent infection. Time showed that it can't because it morphs so readily like the flu and the common cold.

However, it still CAN prevent individuals from catching variations in the vaccine formula and especially from spreading the disease by attacking the replication process (which is what keeps you from developing severe disease along with Paxlovid use for the elderly and immunocompromized) so it CAN prevent getting the variations it is "jiggered for" while only reducing the severity of any of new variations not already included in the jiggered formulas. They can't add protection for variations that haven't yet occurred, but you won't get the varieties included in each new formula of vaccine..
