Update: I got it! At my local CVS. I had to ask for it by name and they had to check that they had it, but they found the box of mFLUSIVA and I got my vaccine!!!

The same mRNA technology that made the COVID-19 vaccine possible will soon be used in flu vaccines for older Americans.
The FDA has approved a new shot from Moderna called mFlusiva for adults aged 50 to 64. The company is also seeking full approval for adults 65 and older.

🤔If mFlusiva is the name that they chose, that implies that somewhere there exists a list of names not chosen that are even worse than that.
👩🏼⚕️💉"Yeah it's called mFlusiva. Why do you care? Do you want the vaccine or not?"

So 24hr post mFlusiva (new mrna flu vaccine by Moderna) and I’m surprisingly pretty good. Sore arm, lil’ headache but no fever which is unusual for me.
Glad I spaced out covid & this though.
