VeeRat on Nostr: I’m thinking ahead about the new XBB Covid boosters that should be arriving next ...
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 get something as soon as they are ready. Any thoughts appreciated! What are you all planning to do?
