Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Best consensus? His own doctor. This is such a personal question really. It has to do with how much outside activity he has (I, at 83, ride public transit almost daily), how many crowds he is in daily, and on where he lives (with many or with a few).
I myself, at 83, am pretty much over it. I have had now a total of 7 covid shots and boosters. I am not hearing of deaths and my daughter's in-laws, both in 90s, recently got Covid with no ill effects.
We judge for ourselves by what we read, hear, see, believe, and with the help of our own doctors.
My daughter was just here with my son-in-law (63 and 71 respectively) and they took part in both reunions, public transit, celebrations (Dia de los Muertos) and etc. He went home and got immediately pretty sick. Lest we think EVERYTHING is covid, he thought it was strep, so off he went to urgent care. Result? Common cold. "Take two aspirin and go to bed". Those I am hearing about getting covid now have about the same advice.
I am not saying it is over. I am saying that the refrigerated semi trucks stacked full of corpses is a thing of the past. We have weathered this. It now comes down to herd immunity, weakened virus that will be with us forever and just how many shots for how many things we PERSONALLY want to take. Flu. Shingles. Pneumonia. New and improved pneumonia. Covid. And on and on and on and on.
So a personal decision. When and whether or not to get the shot, wear a mask, all of it. And wishing you the best. At this point? Like I said, 83, I look at worst case scenario, and getting covid BAD, making the choice not to treat in an ER--basically an easy death with medication. As a nurse am more pragmatic than your average chicken.
Is this an active 90 year old that will come in contact with many people? Or is this an inactive person that remains at home?
Honestly if they have never had a reaction to the vaccine before I would say the vaccine is an important part of staying healthy. I am assuming that you are also including a Flu shot along with the COVID booster.
This is also something that should be discussed with their doctor is there is a reason for concern
Depends on if she wants to hasten her demise. She isn't likely to die from the vax, but she could very well die of the Covid disease, and it's not an easy death, either.
Does she have any other health issues? Immuno compromised? COPD? Diabetes? etc?
A few years ago my 2 very elderly Aunts (one in her high 90s and the other over 100) got their covid boosters and it made them very sick and they decided to never do it again. Neither of them had any chronic health problems.
My Mom (96) just got the seasonal flu shot but not the covid booster. She also has no other health problems. I, my husband and my Mom all got covid at the same time in Nov 2023. My Mom had it more mildly than the 2 of us. She had gotten the first Pfizer shot when it came out in 2021 (but not the second).
My mom got COVID for the first time in the summer of 2024, when she had been living in an assisted-living facility for about seven months. She was almost 96 at the time. I think her illness might have been worse if she hadn't received COVID shots.

I'd get the shot.
A few years ago my 2 very elderly Aunts (one in her high 90s and the other over 100) got their covid boosters and it made them very sick and they decided to never do it again. Neither of them had any chronic health problems.
My Mom (96) just got the seasonal flu shot but not the covid booster. She also has no other health problems. I, my husband and my Mom all got covid at the same time in Nov 2023. My Mom had it more mildly than the 2 of us. She had gotten the first Pfizer shot when it came out in 2021 (but not the second).
As far as concensus goes, it's anyone's guess.
