Moderna's mNEXSPIKE vaccine

[oregonjen]

I got a prescription for the vaccine and got my shot Monday afternoon. Just a few hours of feeling malaise and a sore arm, that was it. Usually after every Covid shot, I have a very strong reaction, fever, chills, and a very sore arm with a rash.
I looked at my paperwork and I received the mNEXSPIKE, which is a new lower dose, resulting in potential less side effects and a stronger immune response. Yay for science!

“With the benefit of years of real-world data and a deeper understanding of the virus, we explored if alternative vaccine design strategies could be more effective. mNEXSPIKE was born from this continued push for excellence. Its streamlined vaccine design aims to target key parts of the spike protein rather than the entire spike protein, and at a lower dose.”

2. Good to know. I have yet to schedule my next Covid shot (life interfered ) but was not looking

forward to the flulike experience I had after previous shots.

3. Thanks for the review.

My appointment is set for 10 days from now. I’d do it today, but I’m coming off a 5-day fast, and was advised to wait 7-10 days for the jab.

4. I got mine yesterday.

Easiest one ever! Tiny prick, no burning or anything, slight fatigue today, but otherwise as if nothing happened.

5. I was so surprised, bracing for being down for the count. Didn't happen this time!

Glad you found it easy, too!

8. We got the same yesterday.

Sore arm today from the flu shot site, covid shot site barely sore. Ours was the Moderna mNEXSPIKE on our paperwork. We are both > 65, so no problems.

10. Got my Moderna booster Wednesday

I asked for the mNexspike, but got the older Spikevax instead. Disappointed. They said they don't know when they'll get the new one in.

Went thru the usual flu-like symptoms yesterday. Not real bad, but I still had to lay low for 24 hours. I'm better today, but my arm is still a little sore.
