Dr Phil Kieran: I'm worried my family will pick up Covid again

We're all understandably concerned about Covid going forward - Dr Phil recommends maintaining respiratory etiquette and keeping up to date with boosters

The entire family got Covid last March - thankfully, we all recovered quickly. I’m worried about possibly picking up the virus again this winter. My husband and I are too young to get a booster shot and social distancing is not an option as the children are in school. What would you suggest?

Covid is still well and truly with us, with nationwide case numbers hovering around 1,000 notified cases per day. Most of the country has been vaccinated by now, which means fewer people are being admitted with complications due to Covid. For most of us who have had Covid, it has been a relatively short and self-limiting illness, but the worry about contracting it again has not gone away.
