It's always a balance - introducing more epitopes means more risk of side-effects from cross-reactions. A wider response is not always A Good Thing. So if you've got epitopes that seem to produce a remarkably good response, then the balance of risk would be against adding more epitopes.
An excellent point, and one that I'd missed!

To clarify...
The original text was updated by another, ostensibly an incorrect phone number was included. The second text only mentioned making an appointment for flu vaccination from 12 September, so presently I don't know if the later mentioned appointment (from 25 Sept.) for COVID vaccination still stands or not...
