I have no problem coming up with some “conditions,” but there is zero foundation for limiting access to Novavax, and it’s obvious FDA is trying to crush the commercial market for Covid vaccines and kill the vaccines. Beyond deplorable. Depraved
I think that sadly if the two mRNA vaccines see updated booster shots approved this fall, these will have similar or more tight restrictions. I predict complete exclusion of pediatric populations from mRNA vaccines if they continue with ongoing trends.

Thank you so much for your reporting.
This restriction—if it’s going to make ANY sense at all—suggests two things:
1. That Novovax confers better immunity (or else why only let the ppl who they think especially need a vax get it).
2. Novovax has less (& fewer) harsh side effects.
I mean the list of conditions that make one eligible is pretty long. I didn't get far down it because ADHD is at the top of the list of qualifiers but I believe you can still "self-qualify" as immune compromised and get it. I hope you're able to find a way (i too cannot have mrna again)
If it turns out to be in limited supply, I would just note that people who are actually immunocompromised or immunosuppressed could be really harmed if they can’t access this vaccine.
I mean no offense. Everyone is certainly left to fend for themselves because of the actual bad guys here. It’s just an especially scary life and death time for immunocompromised people is all
Oh 100%- i am actually immune compromised from long covid and unable to get mRNA, and i assume anyone who can't tolerate mRNA is just as deserving of a vaccine. The list of things that qualify is long for a reason! We're all at risk!

Which is stupid, since vaccine uptake was already low.

The restricted rules that they’ve just set up re Novovax DON’T really make any sense.
