I had to get the Moderna vax yesterday because my exposure was about to skyrocket with kids going back to school, I wish I had gotten it last weekend so I was maximally protected but I needed the 3 day weekend so I could recover and (hopefully) not miss any work. The news about Novavax came out literally right after I made my appointment but obviously no one has it yet because it was just authorized.
However, this is my worst reaction to the mRNA vaccines so far. I feel like I was ran over by an 18-wheeler while laying in a field of stinging nettle. But id rather a couple days of this than the risk of adding long COVID to my CVS receipt of chronic illnesses.
