Who has the access to the article regarding the new Moderna Covid vaccination?

[Baitball Blogger]

I tried to schedule a booster at my local CVS, but they only offer Pfizer. So any information on when and where I can get the Moderna vaccination would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

1. I am curious why are you preferring Moderna? I have read articles that there is a slightly

better efficacy for older folks with Moderna but I have asked several pharmacists and they all say it is too minor to matter.

Asking you not to argue with you but to find out why, as I am about to get the Pfizer but I have had 6 prior and all Pfizer.


Here is one article

5. I get sick for a day after Pfizers,

and that little hedge difference for Moderna efficacy is worth trying somethng new.

13. I just got my first Pfizer. All the Modernas made me sick for days and this one

was so much easier on me.

20. I've done Pfizer every time, however...

I read that Moderna is being recommended for older patients over Pfizer. I do not know the reasoning, however.

21. Moderna has a higher amount of the active ingredient compared to Pfzier

My son was in the original Pfizer trial and has been following this. I just got my 7th shot yesterday and so far no problems

I had to check around and find a pharmacy that carries Moderna. My regular pharmacy only has Pfizer

2. I got the Moderna one at CVS in Honolulu yesterday

Other branches have Pfizer here. All my other shots were Pfizer and I wanted Pfizer
But I decided it was more important to just get it done. They both work the same way, and CDC said it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, if you look on the app for your local CVS‘s vaccinations, you can see which location has which brand and choose the one you want. Good luck!

4. Did you have side effects since the shot yesterday?

AT all or minor, etc?

8. Very minor. Sore arm that I wouldn't even be aware of unless I rubbed it.

14. I should say that later in the day

My temp got up to 100 (Usually 96.8)
I had a headache and a little nausea. This morning I am right as rain.

3. I see this article

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/where-to-get-updated-covid-19-booster-shot-vaccine/

You'll probably have to call around in your area.

7. If you have a Walgreens in your area

On their website, they will give you a choice of which one and then locate the Walgreens that have it within the radius you choose.

11. I got the Moderna vaccine at Walgreen's this morning.

They were offering both Moderna and Pfizer. My local Rite Aid had the Moderna shot available starting on Friday.

Good luck!

The pharmacist told her the new vaxxes were available as of yesterday.
