I'm getting my 8th Pfizer Covid vax tomorrow. [View all]

It's been 6 months since my last booster.

I almost feel like an outcast these days...I'm getting the occasional comment and/or strange look because I still mask in public. I don't care...I've avoided Covid thus far, and I remain hopeful that I can continue to avoid it.
