Because only the US seems to have this guideline. Canada and the EU are not recommending boosters to the general population as pointed out above. It's similar for the flu; afaik, the EU recommends flu shots for ages 60+, not for the general adult population. The US makes a big deal every year on getting flu shots; in corporate media, in shops and outlets, etc.

Canada is recommending boosters after 5 months from the previous.

In Quebec, Canada: not at risk, not old and I have a government prompt to get my next free COVID booster sitting in my inbox as well as a government email for the free flu shot.

Health is a provincial domain.
