  1. Come and get it! If you can afford it 🤬

    The #COVID #XBB #variant family #booster approved in the #US for everyone older than 5 and will start being available by the end of this week. Price will be an obscene $100 per dose.

    #Health "#insurance" *should* cover the cost, in-network, but we know how insurance finds ways to not ensure our health.

    Good news is "It is likely that the XBB.1.5 #monovalent #vaccines will raise #antibodies against all the circulating variants"

  2. With coronavirus on the upswing, new vaccine coming (ever so slightly) sooner than expected

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said this year’s updated version of the COVID-19 vaccine is likely to come out by the middle of next month, a bit earlier than the late September timeline previously announced by the Department of Health and Human Services.

    The earlier-than-expected arrival became apparent after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scheduled a Sept. 12 meeting of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a likely indication that the vaccine would become available shortly afterward.

    The latest version of the vaccine is designed against the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5, unofficially known as #Kraken.

    Unlike last year’s formulation, a bivalent vaccine that was designed against both the ancestral coronavirus strain and the BA.5/BA.4 Omicron subvariants that were circulating at the time, the upcoming vaccine will be #monovalent, specifically designed against #XBB.1.5.

  8. [Correspondence] Davis-Gardner, 2022: Serum from recipients of 1x #booster, even when immunity would be at its most potent, showed no response to XBB. #Bivalent booster recipients' serum performed better than 2x #monovalent recipients'. #COVID19
