This is the COVID vax you want. More closely matched to current variants than Moderna & Pfizer, likely longer protection due to using protein like the flu shot, and fewer side effects. You may need to call a few pharms to find, since it was approved later. But worth it!
Novavax has received Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S.
#FDA
for its updated COVID-19 vaccine in individuals aged 12 and older. Pre-filled syringes are expected to be available in thousands of locations across the U.S. in the coming days.

Odessa is a party city. But not today.
