#Covid vaccine Novavax

[dillyt]

Great news for uninsured adults in the USA who want a COVID-19 booster! It now appears that ALL CVS locations are now active participants in the Bridge Access Program. The Bridge Access Program gives out free Covid-19 vaccinations to 18+ adults who otherwise can't afford one, so if you have a CVS near you, please go get one! For others who don't have a CVS near them, please go to vaccines.gov, click on "Find Covid-19 vaccines", fill out which vaccines you prefer (you can mix different vaccines if you have to so i reccomend just marking all of them for the age groups you need), and when the next page loads mark the "Bridge Access Program Participant" option to see only locations that are Bridge Access Program participants. Hopefully, other places that aren't CVS will start participating soon, so just check back every so often to see if there are any updates. The CDC Bridge Access Program website also has more details on what locations will be participating, but only CVS is appearing as an active participant on the vaccines.gov location finder at the moment.

#Novavax vs mRNA vaccine This thread explains how @Novavax is different from the #Moderna and #Pfizer #mRNA #vaccines and describes some of the benefits such as broadened #variant recognition, more durable #immunity, and fewer side effects.

This is an awesome thread explaining all of the above + recommendations for primary layers of protection like ventilation, filtration, and masking.

Notable:

What about people who had mRNA doses previously but want to consider Novavax? There have been several studies now that found mixing the two, getting mRNA and then Novavax actually gave better results than just mRNA on its own.

One study found that getting Novavax as a booster after mRNA "may enhance the persistence and durability of vaccine-mediated immunity compared to mRNA options" ...with slower decay rate compared to an mRNA booster dose and less side effects than mRNA boosters

While vaccines are important, they should be the last layer of protection to rely on in case all the other layers fail and you get exposed. Vaccines should not be the one and only layer governments all seem to be currently relying on.

ProTip: Get your free yearly COVID and flu vaccinations before heading to holiday gatherings where you may run into unvaccinated MAGA relatives.

Welcome to sick season. According to the CDC, New York City, along with New Jersey and at least 16 other states are now experiencing “high” to “very high” levels of respiratory illness activity, as measured by the number of weekly visits to healthcare providers and emergency rooms by people experiencing symptoms of fever, cough, and sore throat . The culprits are the usual suspects: this year’s strains of influenza, COVID, and RSV. And though flu-like illness levels have been above baseline nationally for several consecutive weeks, the CDC warns that we still haven’t hit the peak. [ ... ] The CDC also sent out an alert to healthcare providers this week highlighting low vaccination rates for the three viruses.

I never stopped wearing a mask on crowded public transit. An increasing number of commuters are resuming the practice.

Beyond vaccination, for everyone, the best way to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses like the flu and RSV is regular handwashing; avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; and staying home if you get sick. High filtration face masks still work great, too, and not just for avoiding COVID.

Most of the time if a place offers COVID vaccines it also has flu vaccines. But just to be safe...

Vaccines.gov - Search for COVID‑19 vaccine locations

Vaccines.gov - Search for flu vaccine locations

At least at my CVS, they offer Novavax COVID vaccines free and without appointments. It might be necessary to schedule an appointment for flu and RSV vaccines.

One study found that getting Novavax as a booster after mRNA "may enhance the persistence and durability of vaccine-mediated immunity compared to mRNA options" with slower decay rate compared to an mRNA booster dose and less side effects than mRNA boosters.

A randomized controlled trial found that getting a Novavax dose after Pfizer mRNA elicited the highest humoral and peak cellular immune responses.

The mRNA + Novavax combination also had the lowest rate of breakthrough infections and the study also found fewer moderate and severe systemic adverse effects for Novavax than Pfizer mRNA.

Neutralising antibodies against Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 were higher with Novavax after mRNA compared to two mRNA doses."

I was going to get the COVID-19 booster released in September, but now with Novavax becoming available, I am not sure what to do.

Do I get both or just Novavax?

(If it makes a difference, I'm fully vaccinated and twice boosted, though the last one seems like a while ago. I had a flu shot last month.)

I've tried searching online, but so far, I haven't been able to find anything about this situation. Any help would be appreciated!

For Immediate Release: October 03, 2023

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration amended the emergency use authorization (EUA) of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted for use in individuals 12 years of age and older to include the 2023-2024 formula. Individuals 12 years of age and older previously vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine (and who have not already been vaccinated with a recently updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine) are eligible to receive one dose and unvaccinated individuals receive two doses

It should be at some pharmacies within a couple of weeks. Contact yours, or your health department.

A couple of reasons some people have chosen to wait for Novavax:

Data showing that it may offer a slightly boosted immune response & slightly better defense. And that mixed vaccination (called heterologous, meaning mRNA & non) may also offer expanded protection.

mRNA vaccines have been harsh for a lot of people, requiring multiple "sick" days, and/or other symptoms afterwards. Likewise many have a milder or no reaction to Novavax (non-mRNA).

That said, the numbers are not so drastically different. And everyone reacts differently. It's much better to get any vaccine you have access to than to continuously get reinfected with a virus that damages your entire body each time — vascular system, heart, brain, all of it.

There's a a massive wave of infections recently. If you're in frequent contact with others (have kids in school, work in-person, etc), it's safer to get the already-available mRNA vaccines if you're able to.

anyway. im hoping that bc i now qualify for the free flu vax i can convince my gp to give me a second covid booster if they havent lowered the age to under 30s in a few months

#wanna get novavax to complete the collection #and also bc it's shown to be better protection against omicron than astrazeneca and the mRNA vaccines #bc the omicron specific vaccines are still in trial and defs wont be available any time soon #tho maybe that novavax trial i was rejected from is still running in a few months time and i can get my doctor to give me permission #to be a participant despite my bad reaction to my second pfizer #since it's been Yonks since any covid vax so my immune system wont go as apeshit like it did with only a 3 week window #holy personal post batman

After hacking up my lungs for most of a week, sweating through all my sheets and hallucinating, and I'm still so tired I collapse at 6pm most days, wear a fucking mask, covid + RSV+ flu + Other respiratory illnesses are up significantly and it's getting to be higher than previous peaks so WEAR A MASK FOR OTHERS

#covid #i've lost the patience #i've got covid now and it was the worst thing #almost had to go to the ER because i couldn't breathe at night #literally clawing at my chest to get a breath between coughing fits #if you haven't gotten the latest vaccines look into them #there's a traditional vaccine called novavax #if you're not masking now is the time #if you don't do either and don't plan to #unfollow me and go fuck yourselves
