 Psst... get your COVID booster everyone, it's based on Nobel Prize-winning technology!

 @eff62568 I would, but I live in the Netherlands. Our government has downplayed COVID from the beginning and is now only allowing over 60s and people at particular risk to be vaccinated.

Everyone else is apparently supposed to increase their immunity to the disease by catching it...

No Nobel winners in our government.

 @eff62568 
I tried to get my COVID booster today when I got my flu shot at a locally-owned pharmacy. The pharmacist said their first shipment (of only 50 doses) came in two days ago and went fast due to high demand. 

I went online to book an appointment at a chain store. Neither Walgreens nor CVS pharmacies had any appointments available for the next week!

Is there a shortage that no one is reporting about? Given that the media insinuated there would be low demand for the new booster, I was not expecting to have difficulty getting it.
