      Yeah, but one of the problems is that even if they aren’t a braindead bootlicker is that insurance companies base their coverage on those recommendations.

      Is the updated booster for the new variants out, or is this still the booster from last fall?

      I checked the CDC website, and that new clown show of non-medical officials hasn’t even updated their site to reflect the press release from last week. They can’t even get consistent misinformation out.

        The new one from Moderna is called “mNexspike” and is approved for use now and will be available in autumn.

        On a completely unrelated note, mNexspike will be available in autumn in Canada for Americans that travel there for it with the catch being having to pay for it (likely $140ish USD).

          I’m confused. Are you saying you got the new Moderna shot that was just approved 5 days ago?

            No, I haven’t gotten it. I wish. For one, because I’m an American and our braid dead administration has determined that otherwise health people, of which I’m one, won’t be able to get it.

            For two, it will be available in the autumn to regular health people in Canada.

                    There are two different users. One got revaccinated five days ago, and a different one is talking about mNexspike

                    Last fall, about 9 months ago, I got the old Moderna Spikevax booster.

                    This fall, 2025, I would like to get the new Moderna mNexspike vaccine, but I’m otherwise healthy and that won’t be allowed in the USA for me to get it.

          Yep. My household has tentative fall plans to take a road trip to Canada, if we can’t get vaccinated in Freedom Land.

          I’m so glad I didn’t update my passport to accurately reflect my gender. Living stealth sucks in some ways but is much simpler in others.
