> I'm fully vaccinated but am not sold on getting a booster because I'm not in a high-risk group and understand the current science to indicate that the initial series I received continues to significantly reduce my risk of illness, hospitalization and death.

Well the problem is that this ship already sailed. You can be “not sold” on getting a booster all you want, but give it a few months and for employment/entertainment/etc venues you will be considered unvaccinated, period. This is what most “got vaccinated but not sure about passports” crowd don’t seem to understand, there is not gonna be a middle ground, you either have your nth (and go figure the value of n if they want to establish 1 or 2 a year…) booster or you might as well be Andrew Wakefield.

For what it's worth, in NYC right now indoor dining, gyms, government jobs, etc don't even require two vaccine doses, only one.

At my Bay Area employer you definitely need to be 14 days past your second shot (in the case of a 2 dose vaccine) to be considered. Wording on the internal emails about the topic makes it pretty clear that this status is subject to the changes by health authorities. So in this particular case I can assure you that the door for infinite boosters is not only open, but it has been clearly spell out that it will be used.
