If I am double vaccinated for covid and had delta 5 months ago, do I still need booster? How much more would it prevent me from getting Omicron? Are there increased risks of side effects from booster in my case? Is it really needed if I just had it?

I got the second primary Pfizer shot today but the first shot was a year ago. The pharmacy said I don't need to start over, but is that true? I want to be protected but I'm confused on what to do. Will this and the booster protect me from Covid still?
