Until Covid and it's variants are eradicated, that risk will always be there.

A new variant might even affect the young and strong to a greater extent, in the same way "Spanish flu", affected those younger and stronger.

Scary, but possible scenarios, and ones that have previously occurred.
That’s why we need the boosters, to protect against new variants. So far, the vaccines protect against them all, but they will be modified regularly to take into account the new strains out there.
