US adds another option for fall COVID vaccination with updated Novavax shots
U.S. regulators on Tuesday authorized another option for fall COVID-19 vaccination, updated shots made by Novavax.
Updated vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna began rolling out last month, intended for adults and children as young as age 6 months. Now the Food and Drug Administration has added another choice –- reformulated Novavax shots open to anyone age 12 and older.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention already has urged most Americans to get a fall COVID-19 vaccination, shots tweaked to protect against a newer coronavirus strain. Novavax said shots will be available “in the coming days.”
Protection against COVID-19, whether from vaccination or from an earlier infection, wanes over time. There’s already been a late-summer increase in infections, and health officials hope enough people get the new shots to blunt a winter wave.

Is there a good rundown of the differences? Is there a suggestion to stick with the one you had before, or does it not matter since this is a new formula?
Most importantly, I want a systemd-free vaccine. The 5G/Bill Gates/Diet Pepsi conspiracy chips in there better run a respectable init system!
Ikr I've had 3 boosters already and my reception still sucks...
Tho it doesn't have any pharmacies listed right now, those site will hopefully soon list where novavax can be acquired. https://us.novavaxcovidvaccine.com/
