given that people aged 40-60 seem to be experiencing long covid, and the cardiovascular repercussions of having covid, at very high rates, I am extremely disappointed that no will be available to adults under 65 in this winter. I already pay at a chemist for a flu jag as I'm not eligible on the NHS, and would happily add a similar fee for a covid jag too.
Particularly since my job involves working with a wide variety of elderly and young people. masks it is, I guess.

I’m thinking ahead about the new XBB Covid boosters that should be arriving next month. What is the current thinking on which one to get?

So far, I have had 4 Moderna shots. First 2 series in April & May 2021, booster in Nov 2021, bivalent booster in Oct 2022. I waited a year between boosters because I really wanted to get Novavax, but then it didn’t become available for me.

First 3 shots in left arm, but the first booster had an effect on my neck and shoulder lymph nodes; they were swollen and painful for 10 months. So I got the bivalent in the right arm, but then afterwards learned it would have been more effective to continue in the same arm as the first shots. But no lymph node issues with bivalent.

I thought I saw some real world data showing Novavax was not as good as hoped. Plus I would need to convince my doctor to give me a new 3-shot series. Is that all correct?

If I stick with mRNA, should I mix it up and get Pfizer this time?

Just trying to get prepared, so I can something as soon as they are ready. Any thoughts appreciated! What are you all planning to do?

'Giving shots in the same arm as the first dose was given, elicits higher levels of neutralizing antibodies and spike-specific CD8 T cells.

This is thought to be due to stimulation of the same lymph nodes that were used for priming (the initial vaccination)"

Dr. Griffin reiterates that boosters are really only for people like, over 85 with multiple health conditions. It doesn’t really help others. Generally, they believe the primary vaccine dosing should be standardized to 3 shots, with the last shot at least 6 months out from the second.

You don't know till you know, and then it's too late.

Wear an for your own damn good.

Or don't.

But when it's too late, you'll know.

I'll try to point you in the direction of specific data. Ask.

I’m so glad you made that decision💜💜💛Many people won’t do it & can understand their point of view as I had real angst about it last year, but it angered me PH held back until everyone got

The calendar on approval doesn’t lie. Made me super mad, however worked out for me as decided then & there I needed primary doses++

wasn’t going to get for innocuously taking out trash & it has tbh, FAR exceeded my expectations
