Here is some information about the newest Covid vaccine called the Novavax. We have it available in the office now.
The Novavax vaccine is a traditional one compared to the other Covid vaccines. Its technology has been used before in vaccines to prevent such conditions as shingles, human papillomavirus, and DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), among others in adults and children.
Novavax, it's a more traditional vaccine in that it uses moth cells and tree bark. Instead of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna) or a viral vector vaccine (Johnson & Johnson), Novavax is a subunit protein vaccine like 'regular' vaccines. Hopefully people who have been hesitant to take the newer technology vaccines will be willing to get this one.
In a presentation to the advisory panel Tuesday, CDC officials said that people ages 18 and older who are not immunocompromised should get the two doses of Novavax's vaccine three to eight weeks apart. Those who are immunocompromised should receive two doses three weeks apart.
How Given: Shot in the muscle of the upper arm
Does NOT Contain: Eggs, preservatives, latex, metals
Even though this vaccine has NOT yet been authorized for children or as a booster shot. We do have the Covid vaccine for 6 months and up.
Just a reminder about Adult Booster shots being available in the office on Tuesdays until 7.
FYI: I will be returning to the Harvard School of Public Health on Friday September 23 to meet with all the "Big Wigs" in Covid, Monkey Pox and other Public Health issues, so the Laurel office will be closed that day.
We will be open in Laurel on Saturday September 3rd and October 1st
