Thanks, great list. In the past, FDA restricted Novavax to individuals 18 years and older "for whom mRNA bivalent booster vaccines is not accessible or clinically appropriate" or "who would otherwise not receive a booster vaccine dose."

This language was very confusing to pharmacies, so many of the larger ones (like Costco) "complied" by turning away people seeking vaccines and boosters.

Will there still be restrictions on Novavax this fall? With all the mRNA shots I've received, I'd like to mix it up this time.

I have one employee who still thinks the mRNA shots have microchips and only took the J&J shot. Even after the warning for her age group. This makes the Novavax a welcome option when I urge vaccination in my office!

Frustrating: those who are most needy, such as with autoimmune diseases, can have flares from vaccines. More studies there would be helpful one of these days. IBD, RA, PsA, etc.,. Obviously infection can as well. But vaccine effectiveness in those taking one of the myriad of medications so often advertised would also be welcome. These are the individuals most likely to want and need the vaccine to participate in the world and life.

9/12, noted and thank you!!
