The White House coronavirus response coordinator, Ashish Jha, said last week that people might consider getting the booster when they get flu shots, which many do in October and, barring a new variant curveball, think of it as an annual shot going forward. That’s fine if people do that, especially since many immunologists say it’s best to wait three to six months after one’s last vaccination or infection, and many people have had recent infections.

Should “data” be singular or plural? | The Economist
September 17, 2022Enjoyed this article! I studied Latin, but, unfortunately, now agree with the article: “It is poignant that [trivia] a word that once meant a knowledge of Latin now means a knowledge of impractical random facts.”
