The latest Covid vaccine update “mNEXSPIKE” was approved May 30 2025. I seriously doubt the CDC will approve any more. If you are 12-64 you need to claim a comorbidity…I am suggesting people not claim you qualify under Mental Health, Disability, etc as it could be tracked for future “projects”

Safer to use the "I was once a smoker" reason. Fascists will target autistic people as well.

I'm not interested in being safe, but I would encourage people that feel unsafe to do what they need to do. I don't need to argue because I'm 65 and for whatever magic reason that's the number where you don't need an excuse.

You gotta walk into Walgreens and ask for it. Then when they say it’s outdated, you have to ask for it anyway.

I think it might be too late for now. I heard this was coming and got the last appointment for the older version (the only one currently avails able) last Wednesday at Walgreens. My friends waited and weren’t able to make appointments the following day.

I had a booster back in June, so (as per my understanding), I can't have another one for another couple months. Which means that was likely my last COVID booster.

Get it. Last week I walked into Walgreens, got last year’s Covid vax, flu and RSV. I had to state that I understood it was outdated and due to be replaced. Cost 50.00 out of pocket. I feel like a have better coverage than waiting and hoping I can get an updated vaccine.

I stopped in at the pharmacy where I've been getting vaccinated. I've gotten #Covid shots there almost since the day they became available for my age group. Today for the first time, they didn't have any. They said #flu should be available next week and Covid might be available and to check back.

UglySpinsterCrone @cassagogo.bsky.social

There will not be an updated shot as Trump has decimated the CDC. The last iteration is already in very low supply so you may not qualify for it, anyway (must 65+, sickly). If you can get it now, do so. Also, no updated flu shots will be happening, you will be getting a year-old iteration
