"Predictions are hard, especially about the future."(Berra): so, must say that some of us are anticipating combining COVID-19 boosters with the traditional Fall flu shot. Whether we alter other vaccines using the newer technology is another story, especially with the success of the childhood injections, the hepatitis and polio vaccines, which have been amazing. But, stay tuned.
