So I'm right on the border of age that should get supposedly get a booster. Born in 1970. Would it be safe to get one now, just in case, even if I probably was just young enough to get them that year?
All the info I've read says that somehow everyone 1970 and later is fully vaccinated.. but I don't remember. What if I just missed getting the full round as a child?

antivaxxers exist outside the usa, sometimes they reproduce, causing their children to suffer for something they didn't get to choose themselves

We more or less defeated multiple diseases until YouTube came out and idiots started to do their own research.

Right... hey Americans, are vaccines free?

No...and our recently anointed head of the CDC, RFK, has already reduced and restricted who is advised to receive even the flu and COVID annuals.

From the Public Health Agency website: "Each province and territory decides which vaccines it will provide free of charge to the public."
So it depends ¯\(ツ)/¯
