It could be just because they have nothing to compare to and need more imaging to be sure, especially if you still have some areas more dense than others. Definitely come for follow up and feel free to ask questions.

Yes it is common for further information with ultrasound following a mammogram is non-invasive and simple to perform. A COVID booster would not cause abnormal results in the breast, though it is possible to cause some lymph nodes to swell in the armpit temporarily.
