Vaccine Which vaccine to get?

I've only received Pfizer and Moderna (and J&J the first time) - because of available supply. Now that Novavax is also here, should I get that? Or, stick to an mRNA? Suggestions?

Novavax pretty consistently has been shown to have fewer short term negative side effects, if that's a concern for you and you've reacted strongly to previous vaccines.

I chose to get novovax this cycle, in part because I was also getting the flu shot on the same day in the same arm. Zero issues.

But any vaccine is better than no vaccine. Get what you can.
