A member asked:

Is it too late to get the primary covid vaccine? i had one last year but never got the second dose, had covid this august. i'm afraid of getting sick while out getting it, will it provide protection if i do get sick again?

You need to build up more immunity by getting another dose and then more boosters. People who have all the shots can still get Covid, but at a milder affect. The more antibodies you build up the safer you will be. Don't wait, get vaccine now.

It is recommended that you get your second dose of the primary series now and then get the new bivalent booster at least 2 months later.
