"A lot of people haven't had a booster for about 12 months and have lost a fair degree of the immunity that might have protected them from getting infected."

I thought the vaccines didn’t prevent any infections but were helpful in making the symptoms less severe?

It does both. Less severe symptoms, less virus transmitted in the water droplets we spread around, therefore prevention.

Yeah that’s actually a good point
