Apparently the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines only give you immunity for about 6 months. I've gone over a year before without a new shot.

Novavax if you can still get it allegedly offers longer protection.

Novavax's COVID-19 Vaccine: Your Questions Answered

The Novavax vaccine is one of three vaccines available in the U.S. for the prevention of COVID-19 and the only one that does not use the relatively new mRNA vaccine technology.

The FDA is now approving the vaccine for people 65 years and older, and those ages 12 through 64 who have at least one health condition that puts them at increased risk for a severe outcome from COVID.

Good. I have long covid. I should be able to get it.

FYI I just got a booster recently since it was about 6 months from the last one and as far as I can tell all of the 2024-25 Novavax Covid shots expired recently. Here’s a Reuters article claiming the last batch expired on April 30th, but it’s unsourced. I know I wasn’t able to find one at least.
