It's worth pointing out that Canada isn't yet seeing the same degree of waning efficacy that the US is. Our wider spacing between doses is possibly a factor in why, though it's muddied by Canada also giving mixed Pfizer/Moderna regimens.
I do think boosters will be necessary, as even Canada's wider spacing between doses was still much smaller than most two dose vaccines, and I will get mine when eligible. But for those that are worried about their risk as a fully vaccinated person, I think it's worth keeping in mind that one's individual risk here is not as high as US and Israeli headlines might suggest.
Israel and the US also have far more spread, due to lackluster vaccine uptake. Israel's early status as a leader has been erased, and they are now one of the least vaccinated amongst developed countries.
