Question about how many shots are recommended?
So originally like most people I had Pfizer and Moderna shots the first few years, even though I had some really unpleasant inflammatory reactions that lasted weeks.
Then later in the fall of 2024 and fall of 2025, if I’m remembering correctly, I got the Novavax shot (now called Nuvaxovid).
However I just learned if you’re switching over to Nuvaxovid you’re supposed to get a series of shots? Not just a single booster every year?
Is that correct? My doctor didn’t seem to know that.
Also, given that I had a shot two years ago and a shot last year, should I still try to do the series? And what is it?
Also (final plot twist) I’m immune compromised so I should be getting them more often than annually right?
My doctor doesn’t seem to know about Nuvaxovid so I’d like to share the correct info with her.
Do we know which strain the 2026-2027 vaccine will target?
Just curious as I'm not sure I've seen any information on this yet. Thanks so much!
