I’ll be offered number 4 plus a free flu jab this autumn and I’ll take it, no vaccine certificate here but it seems like a good idea ahead of winter for me to get boosted. I’m over 50 and in contact with vulnerable people regularly though.

That, and there's also constantly talk about a new/adapted vaccine coming out for the new variants, you think "I'll wait for that one !" And then it doesn't happen.
And omnicron seems milder in general. I think my risk of getting seriously ill from it is quite low, and it doesn't protect against getting infected and testing positive.
Several vaccination centres have closed now, I'm not sure where there is one near me (of course I can find out). On the one hand I'd like the extra protection before my holiday but on the other hand I'm already so stressed about it I don't want to add even more to my to-do-list and possibly deal with a day of fever/headache like I did last time.
