Late to the party again?? GRUMPY OLD BUGGER
"The Moderna Bivalent Spikevax vaccine will be added to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) on 6 October 2022. This will enable vaccination providers to report the administration of the vaccine when the rollout commences from 10 October 2022. When
reporting the administration of a Moderna Bivalent Spikevax vaccine to the AIR, vaccination providers should use the vaccine code MODBIV."
Codes are oddly important? That they create a code doesn't give your Doctor access to it until the software used is update [bigwhistle]
Yet another example of very poor planing. It should have been given to our software providers 4 weeks ago to be ready!!!
This should be in GRUMPY OLD BUGGER?
Edit I am planning my planing [biggrin]
XBB and a few more variaints
Getting the new vaccine at the Chemist on Monday.
"the subvariants known as BQ.1.1, BQ.1, BQ.1.3, BA.2.3.20 and XBB are among the fastest-spreading of the main omicron lineages. Based on UK data, the BQ variants, as well as BA.2.75.2 and BF.7 are the most concerning due to their growth advantage and immune evasiveness, the country’s health security agency said on Oct. 7. BF.7 has also been gaining ground in the US, where it accounted for 4.6% of Covid cases in the week ending Oct. 8, from 3.3% the week before, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Atlanta-based agency noted BA4.6 was the most prevalent after BA.5, accounting for 13.6% of cases in the first week of October, from 12.7% the week before. In Bangladesh and Singapore, the XBB strain has been linked to a small surge in cases."
"New variants of the rapidly mutating coronavirus are still popping up around the world, and a new iteration of COVID on the rise in Asia may be the most immune-evasive yet"
News is why I want the new one myself. The original vaccines still help stop hospitalization and serious covid yet the chance of LONG covid is apparently higher if you get it more than once!
I like running to much to chance that risk.
"A new long-covid study based on the experiences of nearly 100,000 participants provides powerful evidence that many people do not fully recover months after being infected with the coronavirus.
The Scottish study found that between six and 18 months after infection, 1 in 20 people had not recovered and 42 percent reported partial recovery. There were some reassuring aspects to the results: People with asymptomatic infections are unlikely to suffer long-term effects, and vaccination appears to offer some protection from long covid. Link

Promise to let you know if I cannot run 10km tomorrow night[thumbsupbig]
Run, walk, swim, ride, dance- Just move
"..A new study by South African researchers has found that people who got the most exercise responded better to the vaccine, with fewer ending up in hospital following the jab.Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation was 60 per cent in people who regularly achieved less than 60 minutes of exercise per week compared with 86 per cent for those who gained the recommended level of 150 minutes or more.
It means that out of 100 people who would have ended up in hospital with Covid without a jab, 40 of the least active would still be admitted compared with just 14 of the most active - nearly a threefold difference." Link
My running post vaccines might not have been as crazy as some thought[biggrin]
Several people may have been Covid positive at a Wedding I was at on the weekend. I wonder if the bivalent vax I had last week will kick a goal?
Hope so- I have a Marathon on Sunday- Sorry Portland[biggrin]

I have sort have had 6 after the one last week. A novavax/fluvax guineapig test may or may not have added a few[biggrin]. Plus a Wuhan sneeze four months ago[bigwhistle]
