If you live in the U.S. and you’re 12+, you’re eligible for the updated bivalent anti-omicron booster shot, and it should be available in your  local pharmacy. 

Please reblog this post, as there’s been very little news coverage and shockingly little propagation of information about the availability of updated boosters.

I always ask them to do my left as a matter of course. I now feel lucky.

CDC experts recommend new COVID boosters : Shots - Health News : NPR

Pandemics don’t go away because people get bored with them. And COVID-19 has shown an unusual ability to adapt to our defenses against it. It is certainly not “just the flu” as some slackers and anti-vaxxers foolishly claim.

Researchers have discovered that the Omicron BA.2 subvariant can produce brain inflammation.

New research on the Omicron subvariant of the coronavirus has suggested the pathogen could be changing how it attacks the human body - shifting from infecting respiratory systems to increasingly targeting the brain. Researchers from Australia and France found BA.5 - the coronavirus subvariant driving what is now the world's biggest surge of infections in China - did much more severe damage to mouse brains and cultured human brain tissues than the previous BA.1 subvariant, leading to brain inflammation, weight loss and death. The findings challenge the common belief that viruses usually evolve to become less pathogenic. "Compared with BA. 1, we found that a BA.5 isolate displayed increased pathogenicity in K18-hACE2 mice with rapid weight loss, brain infection and encephalitis, and mortality. In addition, BA.5 productively infected human brain organoids significantly better than BA. 1," a manuscript of the research said.

The bivalent boosters from Pfizer and Moderna provide improved protection against BA.5.

New Covid boosters work better against infection than previous shots, CDC finds

The first real-world data on the new omicron vaccines find that they are better at preventing symptomatic Covid infections than the earlier doses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

The findings fortify messaging from public health officials that the new shots, from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, should provide people with the best protection against Covid this winter, according to the CDC report.

Both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s new boosters target BA.4 and BA.5, along with the original coronavirus strain, in a single dose.

If you plan to attend a crowded New Year’s celebration, it’s a good idea to get the bivalent booster now.

Make your voice heard and ask the CDC to:

Recommend updated COVID vaccines for all ages AND

Strengthen our vaccine drive by recommending more frequent boosting (at least every six months) and more frequent updates to the vaccines.

Submit comment to CDC

CDC’s ACIP Meeting Information (Including how to register to make an Oral Public Comment): https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/index.html

Vaccination is a mainstay of a multilayered approach to COVID, providing protection against both acute disease and Long COVID. The current annual approach is inappropriate, as COVID transmission does not show a seasonal pattern. Under the current “simplified schedule,” far too many people are left without adequate protection as vaccine efficacy wanes significantly four to six months following vaccination. A more frequent booster approach will also lower barriers in vaccination for people at high risk of severe consequences of COVID infection.

So remember the random guy in Glass Onion? Somebody mentioned that he's the symbol for covid still being around though ignored.

At the ending, Blanc was hanging out with him, and I'd like to think that means Blanc got Covid.

Pretty sure I have covid.

I feel fucking awful.

Everything hurts.

Breathing hurts.

I hate it.

Dear Gus & Magnus,

Mom and Gus got a COVID booster shot today. I need one too -- I'm way overdue. It's weird that we had this global pandemic where over a million people died in the United States, and now COVID just feels like another catastrophic thing happening in the background of our lives that barely registers a blip on our daily radar. Like another war on the other side of another ocean.

Dad.

I was going to get the COVID-19 booster released in September, but now with Novavax becoming available, I am not sure what to do.

Do I get both or just Novavax?

(If it makes a difference, I'm fully vaccinated and twice boosted, though the last one seems like a while ago. I had a flu shot last month.)

I've tried searching online, but so far, I haven't been able to find anything about this situation. Any help would be appreciated!

American Tumblr concert peeps, especially MCR Fans; can I get some help here? I'm trying to figure out what my chances are of avoiding covid, as a fully vaxxed and doubled boostered person possibly going to an indoor MCR concert.

How many of y'all have been to concerts and got covid? Which state were you in?

What was your vaxxed status ( one shot, fully vaxxed, fully vaxxed and one boostered, fully vaxxed and double boostered) and did you wear a mask??

What was your venue like? indoor or outdoor? And where were you located in the venue (boxes, nose bleeds, pit, standing, etc)? Comment or reblog with comment :)!

For those of you who didn't catch covid, the same questions apply :>!

i’m hardly the first person to say this but man are covid vaccines amazing. i was a young, healthy person with no pre-existing conditions when i got covid and i was still recovering from breathing issues for nearly six months. i’m 100% sure if i hadn’t been vaccinated i would’ve died
