No. In addition to the age categories, people in various clinical risk groups get one, but there is no option to request one. I had a UK booster last year because my doctor agreed it was a good idea and shoved me in under the closest option, and I'll ask the same this year and hope for the best, but if you just reasonably don't want to catch Covid there is no route.
