What are you trying to achieve? There's very little downside, but if you're trying to avoid infection another dose won't do it and if you're trying to avoid severe disease the studies show you're already there after dose #3.

Started developing a little post nasal drip and a mild sore throat yesterday, so I swabbed myself at work 3 times and came out negative each time.
I’m sure it’s probably resulting from using air conditioner at work and home mixed with poor air quality, but that’s not gonna stop me from being paranoid.

I’ve got hay fever at the moment - my nose/sinuses just feels odd. It’s been going on a month now though and better since I’ve been taking an antihistamine but it’s making me nervous.
One of my staff asked me if I thought it was a line on their test. “First things first go stand way over there!” It was just a smudge on the paper, made her do another one to be sure though.

Don’t worry, guys. We learned a lot from COVID so everything’s gonna be fine. One day it will just… disappear.

Those numbers are starting to rise. I wonder if it'll get bad enough to warrant it's own thread. Remember November 2019 when this thread was just "buzzing" about covid.

Some interesting information about how different vaccines/boosters/infections provide (or not) protection against BA.5, and the varying levels of antibodies from 2 or 3 doses of the same or different vaccines. He also explains why all the vaccines target the spike protein and whether the variant mutations to spike make the original vaccines ineffective.
TL;DR - Prior infection does not provide a reliable level of immunity because inoculation dose is different for every infection compared to a standard vaccine dose that provides a stable antibody & B/T cell response in the majority of individuals. 2 doses (or 1 J&J) is not enough and you need a 3rd dose ASAP if you haven't already. The OG recipe is still damn good at preventing the most severe outcomes. Spike is an effective target because antibodies cover the exterior of the virus and prevent it from entering cells, and despite the number of mutations to the spike of any particular variant, there are still enough similarities that the immune system will provide a high degree of protection against severe outcomes.

Does it make sense to take one of the old vax brands now that Novavax has released other than not being able to get Nova?

For an unvaccinated individual or someone with only 2 doses, YES get vaccinated ASAP. If you've got 3 doses, it would make sense to wait for the updated booster in the fall from Novavax, Pfizer, or Moderna.

Novavax is releasing a Omicron (and it's subvariants) specific booster too?

They are working on one, but resident insider

might have better info. At this time, Novavax EUA only applies to primary series doses, not a booster.

Yes. Boosters will be available this Fall for US. Current trials for Novavax showing the best protection against BA5 & BA2.7.5 compared to current mRNA rivals.They are working on one, but resident insider

Really wish there was insight into those deaths. Are they primarily unvaccinated, elderly, immunocompromised, or vaccinated and previously healthy? Seems like such a stark difference from most other countries.
