I get a COVID-19 booster with my flu shot every year. Anybody else do that?
Yep. Its just common sense.
2x per year… high risk… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ stupid immune system…
Yes, ever year I get the booster.
Unfortunately for people with some chronic conditions, which make us vulnerable to vaccines, we aren’t allowed to vaccinate :(.
And many countries, like the UK, aren’t even offering them anymore.

I'm in the UK, and I got my latest flu/covid shots free a couple of months ago.
I don't know where you're getting your info as that's incorrect. In fact, the government is actively encouraging the population to get vaccinated.
