How much this new(?) vaccine would give an additional(?) benefit to old folks like us, in case when we really need the booster shot? Wouldn't it give better/more benefits?
BB
P.S. I am so ambivalent to book my airline schedule from October as planned but such a new variant makes me feel lose my confidence in the Pfizer vaccine I got -the first dose in December and the second dose on Jan 6 when those human garbages attacked the Capitol. Indeed, I intend to go to Dubai on Feb 2, 2022 since it will be most probably the FINALE of my career. But, I plan to cancel the additional trip to Oman and further to Vellore/India unless I could get the booster shot before February 2022.

So it is NOT an attenuated 'alive' virus but a fragment of the (dead?) virus instead!!!
So its immunity wouldn't be permanent, then, like other current vaccines!
Why can't they make the vaccine through the standard approach like the smallpox vaccine, based on an 'alive but attenuated' virus? Because they have no reason to rush at this stage since mRNA-based vaccine seems to give 'interim' protection while they make a permanent one?

The technology of the Novavax vaccine
NVX-CoV2373 has been described as both a protein subunit vaccine[7][8][9] and a virus-like particle vaccine,[10][11] though the producers call it a "recombinant nanoparticle vaccine".[12]
The vaccine is produced by creating an engineered baculovirus containing a gene for a modified SARS-CoV-2spike protein. The spike protein was modified by incorporating two proline amino acids in order to stabilize the pre-fusion form of the protein; this same 2P modification is being used in several other COVID-19 vaccines.[13]The baculovirus then infects a culture of Sf9 moth cells, which create the spike protein and display it on their cell membranes. The spike proteins are then harvested and assembled onto a synthetic lipid nanoparticle about 50 nanometers across, each displaying up to 14 spike proteins.
The formulation includes a saponin-based adjuvant.
The vaccine is given in two doses administered 21 days apart,[14] and is stable at 2 to 8 °C (36 to 46 °F) refrigerated temperatures.

Doc, if you took the Pfizer vaccine at the end of the year,
you may be eligible for the third shot now (6 months later).

I didn't know they would provide the third shot!!!
Where can I get further detailed information?
I got the second dose the last Jan 6!!!

I do not know.
I am trying to get the third shot to my wife because she had been on immuno-suppressive drug
while she was getting the Kovid vaccine.
Doctors do not seem to prescribe Kovid vaccination.
The Kovid vaccination is a national policy at this time.
I guess one just walks in at the vaccination center and asks.
I have not tried it.
There's no charge but the vaccination people may charge your insurance company.
The company may not pay for the third shot. I do not know.
There seems no unified policy at this time.

Hmmmm!
I tried to get updated information on this third shot issue though my Department but earned very little.
If you should get any, please share with us as well.
