Previously, you had the option of up to 4 monovalent products, all built to simulate the spike protein of the original wild type virus from 2000. It's obviously not circulating anymore. We've had delta and omicron, and several hundred subvariants since then. Only 1 of the monovalent products remains, the Novavax traditional protein-type vaccine. Novavax is currently in the final phases of testing a bivalent replacement.
Now, as of today's announcement, you may ONLY get the bivalent products (with the 1 exception, and good luck finding anyone who stocks it). They still contain a half dose of the original spike protein and a half dose of the spike protein from the Omicron BA.4/5 variants (also no longer circulating). The CDC's vaccine schedule now says you have to have the bivalents. So if you've got a kid who goes to a public school just about anywhere in this country, now they have to have the bivalents.
They're moving the agenda forward. It's not the victory people on this board think it is. Leftists don't back down. They double down and push forward.
Yes. They're moving the agenda forward.
