If possible, yes. Source, married to a pharmacist who has been keeping a close eye on available studies.
Thank your local pharmacist when you next see them. Already overworked before the pandemic, they are being slammed with nonstop vaccine distribution on top of their normal workload. Thanks @RxCowboy and thanks to the other medical professionals (@steross, @docjoctoo, etc.) out there working the butts off amidst these trying times.

From WSJ just now:
Many panel members said they had concerns about widening booster shots for the general population with such limited data. Members said they would potentially support recommending a third dose for certain high-risk groups of the population such as older adults, but that there wasn’t enough data to justify giving it to the general population. They said that vaccines such as Pfizer’s are holding up against severe disease.

The 8+ hour long FDA panel discussion from Friday did let on at one anti covid vaccine fanatic. Steve Kirsch told them that the covid vaccines are killing more people than they are saving. However, Kirsch's field of expertise is in computer science, not medical science.
Just before Kirsch, an actual medical doctor did come on the FDA panel and concluded his presentation by saying, "We need your help on the front lines to stop vaccine hesitancy. Demand the booster trials are large enough to find a reduction in hospitalization. Without this data we in the medical establishment can not confidently call out anti-vaccine activists who publicly proclaim the vaccines harm more than they save, especially in the young and healthy. The fact we do not have the clinical evidence to say these activists are wrong should terrify us all." Dr. Joseph Fraiman.
Anyway, no wonder the FDA didn't feel ready to let adults under age 65 get boosters until more data comes in. In light of this I oppose any covid vaccine mandates issued by the government. The government does offer an opt out on the condition regular tests for covid are made, but government should pay for them.
The two speakers mentioned above start at around 4:17.

When is this vaccine mandate supposed to take effect? I just asked my wife if OSU has put out any communication on it and she said no. They currently have 175 job openings in Stillwater alone. I didn’t check the other campuses.
My guess is most employers are going to wait this out and hope the legal challenges hold up. OSU benefits are great. The actual pay is not.
