#moderna shot

[zuko-always-lies]

If you live in the U.S. and you’re 12+, you’re eligible for the updated bivalent anti-omicron booster shot, and it should be available in your  local pharmacy. 

Please reblog this post, as there’s been very little news coverage and shockingly little propagation of information about the availability of updated boosters.

Moderna will keep its COVID vaccine on the market at no cost to consumers, even after the federal government stops paying for it, the company announced Wednesday.

"Everyone in the United States will have access to Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine regardless of their ability to pay," the company said in a statement.

Last month, the vaccine maker was slammed for reportedly considering a dramatic price increase for the shot, which it had developed with the help of the federal government.

The proposal was also bad timing: The Biden administration was moving toward ending its designation of a public health emergency on May 11, which meant that federal funding for vaccines would soon dry up and uninsured Americans would have to pay out of pocket for their boosters.

Among the critics of Moderna's reported consideration of a price increase -- from about $26 a shot to as much as $130 -- was Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has long advocated for government-funded health care and alleged the move would result in deaths.

"How many of these Americans will die from COVID 19 as a result of limited access to these lifesaving vaccines?" Sanders, I-Vt., wrote in a January letter to Moderna.

"While nobody can predict the exact figure, the number could well be in the thousands. In the midst of a deadly pandemic, restricting access to this much needed vaccine is unconscionable," he added.

Now, Moderna will be the sole manufacturer of COVID vaccines offering its shot for free to the uninsured. Under federal regulation, insurance companies are already required to foot the bill for COVID vaccines.

"Moderna remains committed to ensuring that people in the United States will have access to our COVID-19 vaccines regardless of ability to pay," the company wrote in its statement.

"Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines will continue to be available at no cost for insured people whether they receive them at their doctors' offices or local pharmacies. For uninsured or underinsured people, Moderna's patient assistance program will provide COVID-19 vaccines at no cost" after the public health emergency expires.

To date, the federal government paid for all COVID vaccines for Americans, whether they were insured or not using emergency money passed by Congress. But President Joe Biden says he plans to let the nationwide public health emergency expire May 11.

Once that happens, federal support ends for many of the programs put in place to help uninsured Americans, including expanded Medicaid, testing and treatments.

Last month, the World Health Organization said COVID-19 remains a public health emergency worldwide, but that the pandemic was at a "transition point."

WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the "global response remains hobbled because in too many countries, these powerful, life-saving tools are still not getting to the populations that need them most – especially older people and health workers."

[scorittanius]

just remembered that i DID actually get the flu vaccine this year but forgot bc it was the same day as my HPV!! the streak continues!!!

#woo!! i'm so full of immunity to influenza!! #the HPV vax is highly important too #bc i have family history and high risk of a good few sex-related ills!! #including HPV and many cancers #i'm getting more shots next year #trying to find myself a moderna booster #which is hard bc moderna is normally reserved for immunocompromised ppl and i had it done instead of pfizer by accident #so i need moderna boosters as pfizer doesn't work as well with moderna!!!

[wizardclown]

Three ships: Joe/Nicky (The Old Guard), Jyn/Cassian (Rogue One, also Andor even though she’s not even in it but that has resurfaced feelings), Bucky/Natasha (after all this time? always)

First ever ship: I’d have to say Alanna of Trebond/Liam Ironarm from Lioness Rampant. I did come around to Alanna/George, though, but Alanna/Jon was not meant to be!

Last song: "Mr. Brightside” on iTunes, constant refrain of “Baby Shark” out loud except that Bébé has usually has replace “baby” with various names...also sometimes “shark” becomes “goat,” because she met a baby goat in December.

Last movie: Matilda the Musical

Currently reading: Bébé keeps having me start She Persisted but then nopes out around Helen Keller. Perhaps it’s a commentary on Keller’s complicated but indelible legacy?

Currently watching: Leverage: Redemption. I’m really enjoying it—there’s a little more Hardison in the new season, Breanna is a gem, Harry’s actually pretty fun most of the time (and knows his place, narratively and otherwise), and the rest of the original cast remains magnificent. Also...look, it’s not prestige TV, and it’s not the original run. But it’s still a lot of fun, and the show knows you’re there to, like, watch Sophie do a million accents at the flip of a switch, Eliot serve appetizers while beating down henchmen, and Parker flipping through lasers while bad people get their comeuppance. And it delivers. (I still don’t miss Nate, still like how the show’s employed him in-universe as character motivation for Sophie and the others.)

Currently consuming: A lot more Blue Apron than usual while Boyfriend is quarantining at an Airbnb and declined to plan on cooking himself anything while convalescing with XBB. So I’ve been sharing things with Bébé for dinner and then eating the rest for lunch the next day. It’s been a long couple of weeks. 

Currently craving: The end of the aforementioned quarantine; he got COVID at a conference and basically got home, tested, and left so Bébé and I wouldn’t get sick. This has worked (four negative rapids and two negative PCRs over here! Also vaccines!) but we pretty much haven’t seen him in a week and a half and that’s sucked.

Tagging: If you haven’t done this and would like to, go for it. I don’t know your life.

Why are the Moderna side effects so much more annoying than the Pfizer, I can already tell I'm going to be a bitch today lmao

#this is my first moderna shot all my others have been pfizer #got my flu shot too #hurray

Every single time I've gotten a covid vaccine, it's made me the sickest I've ever felt for a solid 48 hours afterwards. Fever, chills, aches, weakness so bad I can barely walk, nausea so strong I can barely keep ginger ale and saltines down, the whole nine yards.

Since I knew I had to get the new booster, i cleared my weekend. No plans, stocked up on easy-to-stomach food, aimed at a time when my roommate would be home in case I couldn't do anything. Fourth shot would NOT catch me off guard, I know the drill by now.

Y'all. I was perfectly fine. And since I'd refused to make any plans I would have to cancel anyway, I had my first entirely free weekend in ages where I just stayed home and did NOTHING. it was GREAT

#my posts #all my previous shots have been moderna and this one was pfizer #so maybe ill stick with that brand from here on

[myvalentina]

I got the double shot bivalente Covid and flu shot. I’m ready to be LAID OUT for at least 24hrs

#I’m hoping cause I’m not getting the Moderna this time that the phizer shot won’t be too bad #i am starting to feel a little tired though #about me

[schrodingersauthorii]

It is almost 8 hours since I got my omnicron booster. I have no symptoms.

I am getting Concerned (tm.)

#the second shot and booster knocked me on my ass #so im looking at my painless non-swollen arm like ??? #is Moderna a pansy compared to Pfizer? #did the Tylenol work too well? #does the flu shot cancel out the COVID one? #have I gotten asymptomatic COVID without knowing it so my immune system destroyed the vaccine so efficiently #so my immune system can just destroy COVID antigens without the whole inflammatory rigamarole? #please work vaccine i can't afford to get Long COVID

I've got my fourth covid vaxx, this time is the Moderna as booster, and I just want to thank Dolly Parton for being awesome and funding this.
