Advisers to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday voted to recommend use of COVID-19 booster shots redesigned to target the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants of the coronavirus for people aged 12 years and older. https://t.co/y0zKkJfXed

No paywall:
… Where can I get one and how much will it cost?
The new boosters, which are intended as single shots, will be available at the same places where the previous boosters and vaccines have been available — at doctors offices, hospitals, pharmacies and community health clinics.Like the previous coronavirus shots, the updated boosters have been purchased by the federal government and will be free to consumers.
The booster takes two weeks to take full effect and can be administered at the same time as the annual flu shot, officials said. The CDC suggests that young men who get the monkeypox vaccine, called Jynneos, might want to wait for four weeks before getting the updated booster. That reduces the risk of inflammation of the heart muscle, a rare complication of the mRNA coronavirus shots that can affect young men…
What are the side effects of the boosters?
Side effects are not expected to differ from those associated with the current vaccine, which include redness and swelling at the vaccine site, as well as occasional fatigue, headache and muscle soreness, according to the CDC. More serious reactions are rare.
U.S. health advisers on Thursday endorsed new COVID-19 boosters that target today’s most common omicron strains, saying if enough people roll up their sleeves, the updated shots could blunt a winter surge. https://t.co/OL179vrwhF
— The Associated Press (@AP) September 1, 2022
… Who is eligible for the new boosters?
The Pfizer-BioNTech booster was authorized for people 12 years of age and older. The Moderna booster was authorized for people 18 and older.
People who are fully vaccinated against Covid — those who’ve had a primary series — and people who’ve had a primary series plus one or two previous boosters are eligible to get one of these new shots…
Why can’t I get one of the updated boosters if I haven’t been previously vaccinated? Aren’t they more on target than the original vaccines?
Hopefully, yes. But these boosters come in booster-sized doses. Think: smaller. They contain less vaccine than the primary series, perhaps not enough to elicit good protection, if you’ve never been vaccinated against Covid before.
The original Pfizer vaccine contained 30 micrograms (mcg) of antigen, given in two doses, i.e. 60 mcg in total. The original Pfizer boosters also contained 30 mcg. While the updated boosters contain the same amount of antigen, they’re designed to protect against two different versions of Covid. So 15 mcg target the original strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and 15 mcg target the Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5.
With the Moderna vaccine, the primary series was two doses, each containing 100 mcg of antigen. So 200 mcg in total. The original Moderna booster shot was 50 mcg. The bivalent booster also contains 50 mcg, but as with the Pfizer vaccine, that amount of antigen is divided equally between vaccine that targets the original SARS-2 strain and vaccine that targets BA.4/BA.5…
If I had Covid this summer, when can I get the new booster?
First of all, if you currently have Covid, the CDC says that “at a minimum” you should wait until you’ve recovered to get a shot…
If you had Covid but didn’t develop multi-inflammatory syndrome, the CDC suggests you could consider waiting up to three months before getting the booster. But it also notes in your calculations about how to time your booster, you might want to take into consideration personal factors, such as how high your risk is of having severe disease should you become infected, and how much transmission is going on where you live.
How long do I have to wait after previous Covid vaccinations to get the updated booster?
You need to wait at least two months after having had the final dose in your primary series and the same length of time after having had a booster before getting one of the updated boosters.
I’m immunocompromised and I’ve already had five doses of Covid vaccine. Am I eligible to get another shot now?Yes, as long as it’s been at least two months since your most recent Covid booster…
I’ve had four doses of Covid vaccine and my CDC card is full. What happens now?
This one is simple. You’ll get a second card when you get your next booster.
The CDC has told vaccine providers that if they are vaccinating someone whose Covid vaccine record card is full, they should fill in a second card for the individual. People getting a second card should take and store pictures of both cards, and staple the two together.

The Guardian: #China places millions into #COVID lockdown again as economy continues to struggle
Key cities of #Shenzhen, #Guangzhou & #Dalian are under curbs again, amid protests and data showing factory slowdown https://t.co/usdKoIR5Hz— Patricia M Thornton (@PM_Thornton) September 1, 2022

The Chinese metropolis of Chengdu locked down its 21 million residents to contain a Covid-19 outbreak, a seismic move in the country’s vast Western region that has largely been untouched by the virus.
The capital of Sichuan province, Chengdu is the biggest city to shut down since Shanghai’s bruising two-month lockdown earlier this year. The move — which will upend the lives of millions of people and businesses, with repercussions for China’s economy and beyond — shows the country’s commitment to the Covid Zero approach espoused by President Xi Jinping, despite the disruption it’s causing.
The lockdown of Chengdu Thursday came after 157 new cases were reported. The city, which accounts for about 1.7% of China’s gross domestic product, is home to numerous technology companies and automakers. Foxconn Technology Group, the world’s largest assembler of Apple Inc.’s iPhones, is moving to a closed-loop manufacturing system for the iPads it makes there, according to a person familiar with the decision, while Volvo Car AB suspended work at its factory.
Chengdu is also a popular tourist destination, famed for its giant panda sanctuary…
The entire city will undergo four days of mass testing starting Thursday evening. The extent of the economic dislocation depends on the duration of the lockdown, which city officials haven’t yet disclosed. Some places in China have imposed snap closures lasting a few days or even just hours, while others extended isolation rules until their outbreaks were fully under control…
Due to extremely hot weather in the city, frequent contact among people in indoor entertainment venues including water parks led to increased transmission of the virus, Yang Xiaoguang, head of Chengdu’s health commission, told reporters on Tuesday.
Chengdu postponed the start of the school year on Wednesday, as did multiple cities across China, citing the need to prevent virus transmission.
Some 21 million people have been ordered to stay home in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu following a spike in COVID-19 cases. Flights have been suspended to and from the city that is a major transit hub in Sichuan province. https://t.co/cRQvTWBPqw

Biobot updated yesterday, showing COVID in wastewater down 45% from its recent peak, equivalent to an average of about 300,000 daily new cases. Confirmed cases have declined to 83,300, the lowest since mid-May. Hospitalizations have declined to 36,700, over 20% below their recent peak 5 weeks ago. Deaths unfortunately have continued to increase, now at 532, close to the highest level since April.
Regionally Biobot show declines across the board, with the West down over 60%, and the Northeast down the least, off 33%. There are no significant State deviations from trend.
With no new variant outbreak, I expect the slow fade in cases and hospitalizations to continue until colder weather gives rise to more indoor gatherings. The increase in deaths is concerning, but may just be a temporary anomaly.

Topol’s graph is misleading, imo. If you look carefully, you can see that most of the US’s outsized gain was Delta last autumn and BA.1 last winter. Since then the US does not appear to be an outlier at all.

Oh good. I was worried I’d jumped the gun. But I got my second boost in June, so I wonder if I need to wait until December?
Scout211
Of course we will get the new bivalent booster. We were satisfied with CVS for our last two boosters so we will sign up with them again. We went Moderna-Moderna-Moderna-Pfizer. We will be going with Moderna for the bivalent. I will just block out the following 24 hours so I can nurse myself through the side effects.
But will 5 shots fit on our vaccine cards? Whatever will we do? 😉ETA: Okay, now reading the text from AL’s post, we just get an additional card. Read the whole post, silly
Question for any jackals who paired your previous booster with the seasonal flu shot: Is that a wise thing to do or should we separate them by a few weeks? Any advice?
Nicole
Thanks for posting the excerpts you did, Anne Laurie! I was holding off on getting my son a booster, due to him having had Covid in June and me hoping the new boosters would be out in Fall (and not wanting to wait six months for one), but the kid’s school requires boosters to go back and ignored all of my emails asking about whether kids with recent infection could delay and so I finally caved and got him boosted in August. It’s reassuring to know I only have to wait 2 months before he can get the new booster. I’ll probably make it a twofer with the flu vaccine for him. He’s gonna be so excited about that.

If so, I’ll probably get it around the time I get my flu vaccine.

@Scout211: I got my flu shot when I got my first booster last year, I don’t recall anything out of the ordinary. The only side effect I get from the covid vaccine is to be sleepy, but I can be an insomniac, so that is a welcome side effect.

I’m glad that the new booster formulations were approved quickly. Congress needs to get on the stick with the funding. We’ve still got some test kits on the shelf but couldn’t get more free ones from the USPS – we have our allotment.
My J is still dealing with “heating” issues from an apparent reaction to the original 2 Pfizer shots. Some tests are indicating that it may be some sort of vascular inflammation. She, and I, worry. She hasn’t been boostered while I have. We both mask everywhere still. She’s on Plavix to help with the inflammation, but that’s making her bleed like mad when she gets a scratch. :-(. She was better when she was with her twin on a short vacation in Quebec recently, so maybe the stresses at work are making things worse… She’s almost to the point of (literally) crossing off days on the calendar until retirement.
Hang in there everyone. We’re making progress, but it’s still not over. Here’s hoping that a good nasal vaccine is available soon.
Cheers,
Scott.

@New Deal democrat: I’ve quit paying attention to him, because he posts a lot of misleading stuff. He seems to be trying to create a panic over Covid all the time. Not that people shouldn’t be concerned about it, but he seems to want us to return to 2020, before vaccines and other meds.

Several fully vaxxed and quite careful friends have developed COVID this week, and one has been very sick. Paxlovid seems to help a great deal, however. I continue to be cautious and often am the only person masked when in a store, and I hardly can wait for the next booster.

I feel for ya. I used to work in Bristol TN (lived north of the line in Bristol VA) and I’m so glad to be away from there, especially as rural and small-town America get crazier and crazier.
Every time one of those RWNJs blames Covid on “Communist China,” I can’t help but remember that they didn’t think we should bother defending ourselves against this hostile attack. “Deadly virus? From China? Let’s throw open the doors!” was more their attitude.
And of course they consider themselves ‘pro-lifers’ even after they shrugged at the deaths of a million Americans.
Fuck ’em all.

Has there been an explanation of why the Moderna booster doesn’t include ages 12 to 17?
The Moar You Know
Fully vaxxed, fully boosted, got it pretty bad two weeks ago today. In addition to the usual bullshit (low fever, horrendous body aches, nasal congestion and sore throat) including it going into my lungs, I got nosebleeds. I’ve never had one before and I don’t recommend them.
Never tested positive, but doc says she’s seen enough of this to be very confident that I did have it. It’s not like any cold or flu I’ve had before, that’s for damn sure.
Today is the first day I feel mostly OK. Still coughing up some crap but that has diminished quite a bit since yesterday.

There’s wondering about that?
Amazing.

@Another Scott:
May not help but I got Moderna for my second booster, after 3 Pfizer. My reaction to Moderna was much nicer but some of that may have been the body getting used to it. Going for Moderna for my 3rd booster.

@Soprano2:
A lot of China lives in very close quarters so something like Covid is going to do a lot of damage in that situation. The reality is that their death rate would be really horrible if they reacted like the US. And we were horrible. I remember polio, how with nothing to do a lot of people got it and it was bad. I personally know of 4 people with polio who lived within a 5 mile radius and 2 of them lived in iron lungs in their front rooms. Well they did for a while. One is my neighbor and she lives in a wheelchair. We are the same age. One was a school mate, I haven’t seen her in 45 yrs. And Covid was far worse with the death toll than polio.

@Ruckus: Thanks for the info. We’ll look into that, and see if maybe one of the non-mRNA shots can be used as a booster.
Vaccines are great, but when it looks like they don’t agree with you it can be sorta frightening trying to decide what to do next. :-/
Cheers,
