I refuse to live in fear of getting Covid (particularly in view of my age) when getting vaccinated can minimize if not deflect it altogether; or to risk spreading it via the working, traveling, and just plain living I have due to accomplish. In addition, getting the booster this soon will allow me to get my seasonal "common" flu vaccine "on schedule" in late October (in order to have the fullest-strength protection by January).
