We are going to book our spring COVID vaccine and have been offered a choice. I don't know enough to know which one to get, any help would be appreciated (we live in England if that helps anyone with variant knowledge).

1. Spikevax JN.1 (Moderna)
2. Comirnaty KP.2 (Pfizer/BioNTech)
3. Comirnaty LP.8.1 30 (Pfizer/BioNTech)

A reminder that Covid is still a thing: “Its official name is BA.3.2, but it's earned the nickname ‘cicada’ because, analogous to the insect's pattern, it first appeared back in 2024, went dormant for a while, and resurfaced in the U.S. late last year.”

What we know about the new 'cicada' COVID-19 variant

Its official name is BA.3.2, but it’s earned the nickname "cicada" because, analogous to the insect’s pattern, it first appeared back in 2024, went dormant for a while, and resurfaced in the U.S. late last year.

@turvanen @BioHumanisti @antmetsa Kiitos. Luulisi harjaantuvan vanhemmiten potemiseen, mutta katin kontit. Ja vasta sinukset tukossa ja kylkiluut yskimisestÀ kipeinÀ huomaa tarkistaa, ettÀ jokosse Nasolin, Strepsils, Codemax ym. ym. loppui. Koronatestitkin olivat menneet vanhaksi (kuivuneet), onneksi vaimo ehti hakea uusia apteekista.

En tiÀ, onko kyseessÀ FLiRT-variantti, mutta etenkin nieleminen hankaloitui erityisesti, nikotus pyrkii yhtenÀÀn pÀÀlle, kitalaen takaosan katossa tuntuu joku kÀyttÀvÀn syövyttÀviÀ aineita, ja "shortness of breath" kuvaa hyvin hengittÀmistÀni. Lepopulssi on koholla, mutta happi-saturaatio suunnilleen normaali. EnsimmÀiset oireet saattoivat olla osin allergian tapaisia ja osaksi kuin lihastreenin jÀlkeen (vaikka siitÀ oli jo muutama pÀivÀ), etenkin niska-hartian seudussa. Viime yönÀ valvoin silkan pÀÀnsÀryn takia, kun vielÀ toistelin "flunssaa". Nukahtelin vartin tai puolen tunnin pÀtkissÀ. Nyt on sÀrkylÀÀkettÀ varattuna, ja tietysti paketti nenÀliinoja ("juoksunuha" silloin kun ei vedÀ tukkoon).
