If you're like most Americans, you've gotten your primary doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, but you haven't gotten the recommended booster shots. So if it's been several months since your last primary dose, you're probably due for a booster.
But the companies behind two of the more popular COVID-19 shots, Moderna and the team of Pfizer and BioNTech, have thrown a new variable into the mix. Last month, they said they had new versions of their booster shots that are designed to target the highly infectious omicron family of COVID variants.
So you may be asking yourself, "Should I get a booster shot now, while cases are surging, or should I wait until the new boosters are ready, probably this fall?"
