As a 49 year old male, with long COVID, and an underactive thyroid, Pertussis, was originally missed on the first trip to my G. Fortunately the second phone call had me have a coughing fit on the phone. Now 3 months later I still loose my voice if I cough, struggle to breath, leaves me feeling week and tired for a few hours and it has had a major impact on my ability to work. I am not sure why we all don’t get a booster, after all I had a booster while at school many years ago. To everyone offered a chance to receive a booster I would suggest get it.
