Novavax! We got ours when the literature started showing better results than the MRNA products. Fewer side effects, better immunity profile, overall just a better option than the alternatives. They're working on a combo flu+COVID vaccine now as well.

The pharmacist at Costco told us about it. 0 side effects, will do again.

Hmm. I only ever had a reaction from my initial shot and first booster. On my second and third boosters, nothing; felt fine. All of those except the initial were also done alongside a flu shot.

I get a fever for a day every time. I usually didn't bother to get flu shots before COVID for that reason. Maybe it hits people differently.

I get a raging headache every time. One of the lymph nodes in my armpit also swells and becomes so tender to the touch, it’s uncomfortable to sleep on. Every time.

Usually lose a day of work to how bad I feel.
