Moderna said on Thursday its updated vaccine is effective against the Eris and Fornax COVID-19 variants
The least they can do is either number or codename the shots. How do I ask the local pharmacy if they have the updated shot? “The one they’ve been working on for a while?” “Just came out?”
Call it booster shot #, give it a more interesting name, or call it an amalgamation of the strains it targets.
I mean if the boosters come as frequently as the flu vaccine, then you won’t have to worry about the name or number of it.
“I’m here for my yearly flu and/or COVID vaccine.”

I just got mine in Canada. Asked the pharmacist if they have the new shot that helps protect against the latest strain and they said not yet.
Why are you acting like it’s so difficult? Lol
As far as I know, the Government has quit paying for covid vaccines, which means it’s unlikely the poor or those with high deductible insurance will get them. I believe Pfizer was looking at charging $120-130 a shot which puts it out of reach for the vast majority of the working poor.
Of course, big pharma needs a few billion again, its time…
