Perfect time to ban all the vaccines for it
This year, however, the Department of Health and Human Services led by vaccine skeptic Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has in effect delayed the rollout of this fall’s COVID shot.
“Updated COVID-19 vaccines have been delayed this year due to federal policy changes, and we are awaiting [Food and Drug Administration] licensure of this season’s products,” the L.A. County Department of Public Health said in a statement to The Times. “This means availability in September may be later than what people experienced last fall.”
Chin-Hong said that the timing of the vaccine rollout is in such flux and he recommends anyone at risk for severe complications from COVID who hasn’t been vaccinated in more than a year to get inoculated now.
"If they haven’t gotten it in a year, just go ahead, maybe, get it now,” Chin-Hong said. “Because also, the vaccine that’s being proposed [for this fall] is relatively the same formula as last year. … It’s less important to wait.”
You should still be able to get the older version (as of now) at retail pharmacies if you can’t get it through your doctor
This means availability in September may be later than what people experienced last fall.
While this is true, we know that Moderna and Pfizer’s vaccines have their best effectiveness during the first four months (NovaVax’s initial effectiveness is a bit less than either Moderna or Pfizer, but the protection also lasts a bit longer). And we know that the virus spreads most during indoor ventilation seasons, particularly winter due to holiday gatherings.
Due to those calculations, I’ve been getting my autumn shot in mid October. Counting the initial two-weeks for the shot to stimulate my immune system, that gives me full protection for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s and Valentine’s Day. Effectiveness will fall off around the beginning of March, by which point we’re hopefully past the main winter heating season.
I just similar logic for my spring shot: I get vaxxed in early to mid May, giving me best protection over Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and through the start of the new school year.
You SHOULD, but at least here in NJ it’s nowhere to be found.
Shit, that sucks. Sorry, hope you can find somewhere. Might be worth a road trip to rural Pennsylvania.
That’s one of the very few advantages of living in a red state. Most resources are scarce, but I’ve never had vaccines run out bc sadly a large portion of the state just flat out refuses to be vaccinated.
Vaccines have expiration dates, if pharmacies order too many one year they will order less the following one.
The right created an entirely new industry for Americans, vaccine tourism.
You jest, but if I can’t get a fall shot, I’m heading to Canada for a few days.
just don’t go to alberta
This is good advice in general
Haha! Make the Canadian taxpayer pay for your vaccine!
As a Canadian taxpayer, I prefer this to covid running rampant right next door.
I’m not positive, but I think I would be paying out of pocket for the shot, and I would be more than happy to do so.
Also, Canada is a lovely country and I would love to spend more time there, so it works out all around :)
Yeah, that’s what we do
If they find out you left the country to use illegal drugs, they won’t let you back in.
Well that’s just a full fucking win.
More like you’ll go to El Salvador or something

I’m not 100% convinced this isn’t the new eugenics.
They should call it the “Trump is in the Epstein Files” variant.
As much as this is true, it’s the biggest lost cause of lost causes. Epstein is dead and Trump is currently abusing more immigrant children using the government than he ever abused with his bff. I get some MAGAts found the courage to voice their frustrations with him using a common hatred of Epstein, but even if he proudly abused kids on live TV tomorrow, it wouldn’t slow him down. The fascist media apparatus will probably adjust to make pedophilia a moot point long term, such that they’ll still get to accuse trans people of it while openly marrying children.
They’ve always been this way. They’ve always projected their own crimes onto others without any repercussions. People waking up to Trump and Epstein isn’t actually that tied to Trump’s friendship with Epstein
We’ll be calling it the American virus soon!
From what I heard the “Spanish” flu actually originated from Kansas.
Spain was just the first country to ring the alarm, as no country wanted to admit to the disease during WW1 so the enemy wouldn’t benefit from it.
I see they’re trying to distract people from protesting. Fuck that
This Monday: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/
I’ll get a vaccine as soon as it’s available
How about you Americans? Ready to die?
Chill bruh. The Americans here are most likely not even the ones that voted for that. And if you’re not American, why do you even care? Asshole lol
