18. If that occurs, systems will be in place to help people get booster shots.

It has taken a long time to create the software, distribution network and other factors. The previous administration did nothing to help make that happen, unfortunately. Now, the pieces are falling into place.

I don't think what you're worried about will happen. If a booster is needed, though, the network will already be working very well and shots will be available.

Meanwhile, keep following the simple safety guidelines. They've worked so far. There's no reason they won't keep working. They even protect against the seasonal flu.
