I am contemplating travel to the States, which means getting a COVID booster. Sigh.

Huron-Perth Public Health would like everyone to put off their next booster until the autumn, so it's still at maximum effectiveness when the COVID and flu seasons set in. I must be needled and tested before crossing the border at the end of September.

That means phoning up the Public Health Unit and convincing the gate-keepers that I am sufficiently special to be needled early. I hate that.
