Gonna take a heckuva database to take care of all those vaccine passports we're going to have...

[bachophile]

I suspect the U.S. is a mite more fractious bunch...

[bachophile]

@jolly considering the EU is 27 countries yet the US is more fractious is not a particularly good omen

We have the people who left Europe over the last 400 years.

In search of freedom from vaccines

Thank you.

I guess I am not eligible for a booster.

[Jolly]

Nice knowing you...

[mark]

Found something that I can use to become eligible. I am a former smoker.

[mark]

We got our Moderna booster shots today...

[Jolly]

Hope they work well...

The FDA has approved boosters for everyone 18 or older, with or without heightened risk profile.
