    A lot of people consider themselves lucky to see a medical professional once a year, so it’d be convenient to be able to get all the requisite vaccines on that schedule.

      That would be great if the Covid vaccinations remained effective for a year. But they don’t. Both Covid and flu shots are effective for about 4-6 months. We get away with doing flu once a year because there’s a pretty solid “flu season” through the winter. Covid has settled into winter and summer waves, but the summer just gets ignored because reasons.
