FDA Approves Booster Shot for People with Weakened Immune Systems

Wise advice for posting on any topic.

It's also a good idea to eschew obfuscation when posting.

FWIW, not every place on Earth has access to the resources needed to refrigerate and preserve the mRNA vaccines. JnJ is a lot more tolerant of higher temps. Also, getting one shot may be all that some people who live in isolated places are able to do. IOW, choose the best tool for each job.

Finally, keep in mind that in the summer of 2020, experts were telling us that if a vaccine was 50% effective, it would be a huge plus in fighting this disease. Perhaps we are spoiled by an abundance of success.

FWIW, I'm a Pfizer person. That's what they had. That's what I got.

The Serum Institute of India started shipping doses of Novavax to Indonesia Dec 1st once it was approved for use, and a local production plant not far from me has already made 60m doses and is now producing another 200m to fulfill an order for the EU. Production issues is certainly what has delayed the approval for many months.

I think it will be very welcome in many countries as it has proven to be very effective in trials against Alpha, has no cold chain for transportation and storage, is very cheap to manufacture and appears to have the fewest side effects of any of the current Covid vaccines.

Tests have also shown it triggers an immune response against the omicron variant.

I wish it were available here!

It was one of the 4 vaccines my wife and I had and we both had absolutely zero after effects from it.
