sigh Okay, yes, people-at-risk should get spring as well as autumn vaccines - but I would argue the everyone is at risk and should be getting regular vaccinations (long covid is very debilitating!).
However, I'm mostly here to say that people who are moderately-to-severely immunocompromised should see if they can get Pemgarda, a pre-exposure prophylaxis infusion that also reduces your risk of getting covid by 70%.
