I need you, if you can, to get vaccinated: Covid vaccines are produced by commercial manufacturers; if there's no demand, they simply won't produce supply. They're distributed by commercial pharmacies; if there's no demand, pharmacies won't go through the trouble of stocking & distributing.

We need better covid vaccines. The more demonstrable market demand there is for covid vax, the more resources get devoted to producing better covid vax. Likewise, if vaccines aren't being used - if there's no demand, if vials are getting thrown out? Coming up with a better vax is a lower priority.

This is very true. I had difficulty finding a pharmacy with vaccines in stock so I could get my sixth booster.

If our last dose was October or November 23, should we get vaccinated now, or wait until the new one comes out?

There is a renewed funding push from project NextGen, BARDA and NIH for Long Covid and new vaccines. It’s about $500M total last time I looked. The Vaxart oral vaccine product seems most interesting to me at this point.

Local commercial pharmacy was only giving it to those over 65 and the immunocompromised when I asked a few weeks ago.
