> Is that counting the 1st booster? These policy changes came after the 1st booster. Yes it is counting any booster after primary 2 doses - which policy changes specifically? Most of these countries have been relatively consistent in their approach to boosters.

They stopped recommending further boosters to younger people after the 1st booster. These 50+ or 65+ only recommendations are rather recent. That's all I'm saying. You would need to account only from the 2nd booster onwards basically.

  > They stopped recommending further boosters to younger people after the 1st booster. Which country(s) specifically changed their guidance about boosters after the 1st booster was released? Again I'm not aware of large swings in policy in most of these countries. Some aren't recommending 4th doses yet but I don't think any have changed policies about boosters after the fact.

    Almost all European countries (perhaps all?) have changed policies about further boosters. For example in Italy the first booster was recommended to everyone and required to prolong the validity of the vaccination certificate, but the second (Omicron specific) is only recommended to the same categories for which the flu vaccine is recommended yearly.

    You are reading the wrong news sources then. So many European countries have changed their recommendations “after the fact” especially for children and young adults

      And yet after asking repeatedly nobody can provide me a source where they have changed their minds after the fact about the first booster

        The 1st booster was recommended to everyone, further boosters only to older population. In US (with the exception of Florida), further boosters are still recommended to 5+ (five year olds and up), while that's no longer the case in lots of countries. Or, you are implying the cited above sources were for the 1st booster as well and thus they haven't changed their minds?

At least in Sweden the policy regarding booster after the 3rd shot has changed [1]: > Adults > For adults aged 18–64, the recommendation for three doses of the vaccinate remains in force. But anyone who wants to receive an additional booster dose, dose 4, may do so in the autumn of 2022. 65 plus and risk groups > An additional booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine is recommended for the autumn and winter 2022/23 for adults aged 65 years or over, as well as people aged 18 or over who are in an at-risk group. This recommendation is valid from 1 September 2022 and covers everyone who is at an increased risk of serious Covid -19 disease.

  That is still recommending boosters 18+ though, its only clarifying for additional doses beyond 3rd doses - they didn't change their recommendation for boosters after the fact.
