We got surprise boosters tonight.

I read that availability for over-65's started today at CVS so I made an appt. for an hour later. No slot was open for hubby but they gave him one as a walk-in.

I believe we should be sharing vaccine with the world and sending doses to under-served countries, but I saw no need to postpone our own.

an argument for boosters. She was originally for sharing with the world and still is, but modified her opinion with the argument as such a large country, we need to get our own house in order so we aren't creating more deadly variants to share with the world.
