The Big B, as most Indians know has been reserved for one individual, Amitabh Bachchan. Today, though that Big B can also be attributed to the booster dose. The big debate about the booster rages on, with experts, leaders, healthcare workers and ordinary citizens all weighing in on the booster. As the government and experts talk about first jabs for children between 12 and 18, and boosters for those working in environments with a heavy viral load, it is a waiting game for many.

This is out of control for the ordinary person, who can only take the booster, once it is available. What the layperson and administration can do though is to ensure that we learn from the vaccine experience and iron out any of those wrinkles to ensure a smooth experience. We will need to be orderly in our queues, in case they happen, at booster centres. No trying to cut lines or use any so-called influence to try and get ahead in the booster line, this had led to vaccine problems earlier.
