BREAKING—the FDA has just authorized the new Novavax vaccine, tailored to JN1 related variants. Anyone age 12 and over are eligible. You may receive it 2 months after a prior version of COVID-19 shot (and prior infection, though FDA memo didn’t specify).

2) Also, the FDA has further authorized a 2nd shot of the new 2024-2025 formulated Novavax shot for people who are immunocompromised, at the doctor’s discretion. (Bullet point #4 below)

3) NAMING—Do not just refer to the shot as “2024” Keep the nomenclature of the new COVID shot straight - the newest one adapted for JN1-related variants is called the “2024-2025 formula”, while the old one was called the “2023-2024 formula”. The old one is no longer authorized.

4) Where to find Novavax soon? Goto - search by zip code and it’ll list which pharmacy carries what vaccine type. It should be updated next week.vaccines.gov

5) Meantime, because of new COVID wave, be sure to be extra careful. The newest vaccine booster should be used at least 2 months, if not 3-4 months after prior infection for maximal efficacy duration. Get the triple test: use “STAYSAFE” 20% off code.

6) Actually, the COVID-only test is now cheaper at just $5.95 before 20% discount “STAYSAFE” and any bulk order discounts. The above one is for a TRIPLE test.

7) Also moreover, Novavax’s COVID shot has less side effect reaction that Pfizer or Moderna’s shots in patients. This is proven and well accepted in the clinical data.
