I thought it was interesting that he was suggesting that we get our flu shots and covid shots at the same time at the beginning of the season. It's by no means obvious to me that it makes sense for everyone to be getting vaccinated at the same time. Surely, if part of the goal is to reduce the strain on public health systems, then we should be carefully choreographing our shots so that our antibodies aren't all waning at the same time.
For instance, in a household it might make more sense to stagger shots throughout the year. I hope that people research this kind of thing!
That's the only way I could imagine a world in which one shot a year would be enough.
