Yes the boosters are still being offered and people who care about catching or transmiting covid are getting them. If you are interested the current crop of boosters includes the most recent major variant that has been causing the spike. If you don’t have insurance your state or local government should have an access program if you want a booster.
Yes, there is no issue getting both at once, and it’s probably useless to try to time each for peak effectiveness. Nevertheless, I believe peak effectiveness for flu shot is about a month earlier than peak effectiveness for COViD
I’m happy to be a bit suboptimal and get vaccinated when convenient. I got my flu shot a week before school came back in session and my COVID shot a week later, because that’s when the new booster came out where I am. I’d have been happy to get them at the same time because better something suboptimal than nothing because you forgot or got busy.
Are people still doing boosters?
Unless you live in the wilderness.
Just like people have always been getting Flu boosters, yes
Do people? I don’t know.
Should we? Definitely (CDC).

Thank you for an informative and non-snarky answer.
Only the smart people
Yes, and updated boosters recently came out in the United States. Got my booster 2 weeks ago and it went smoothly.
We got our booster, along with the flu shot, yesterday!
I guess makes same sense as vaccinating against ever-changing flu
I’ll be getting shot #7 soon.
Yes. Unfortunately the optimal timing is different from flu so you should probably go twice rather than get both at once
Do you have a source on that? I asked about this recently when I got mine and was told there was no issue with getting both at once

You’re not even the user I asked, but thanks for the drive-by insult I suppose.

If you had anything useful to contribute I wouldn’t think twice about it, but you’re clearly just trying to pick a fight.
I dunno what you’re going through that’s got you in that mood, but I hope it clears up soon.

This is the way
Only the vulnerable and elderly are being offered a booster in the UK 😞
That will sure strengthen their immune systems. They should get shots every day.
Yes
