You do need the bivalent booster: everyone does, regardless of how many doses of earlier vaccines they have had. (Two weeks ago I received my own second bivalent booster; it was my seventh vaccine dose.) Just do it.

Hi, I went to my healthcare provider in July for a physical and an uddate of my Rx for B12. They failed to send the blood for B12 analysis. I received a Rx for 10 shots only, non-refillable. I have moved and don't have a new doctor yet. How can I get a new Rx for B12? I really don't want to go to a physician/clinic now because my county is in the high orange/red for Covid. B12 Rx?
