They told me that if I had one or more of the conditions on the list that I could get it. But they did tell me that it was technically not a booster. Not a lot of people would have qualified for it, so they probably decided it wouldn't really hurt to give us more of the same shot, and it might save our lives. I'll be curious to see how the Moderna booster differs from it.
