I managed to make it to midnight but as soon as the clock struck I was off to bed. DH ended up coming to bed (he fell asleep on the couch) sometime around 4 or 5 AM. We both woke up around 7:30. He got at least 10 hours of sleep so I'm hoping he just had to catch up. No other symptoms but I'm keeping an eye on him. I'm usually in bed by 10 so last night was hard on me. Happy new year everybody!

Didn't know there was another vaccine coming out, maybe this one will be more effective than the three in use now.

Dec 31 - Novavax Inc (NVAX.O) will submit a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to authorize its COVID-19 vaccine next month"
Data released in June from a late-stage U.S. trial showed the vaccine was more than 90% effective
"While other vaccines trick the body's cells into creating parts of the virus that can trigger the immune system, the Novavax vaccine takes a different approach. It contains the spike protein of the coronavirus itself, but formulated as a nanoparticle, which cannot cause disease."

Interesting. Any data on possible side effects from their trials?

I’ve been tracking this for a while waiting for them to apply for US approval. Sadly, even if it gets US approval I’m not sure they’ll make it available. Some articles I’ve read have touted how it’ll be beneficial in getting “poorer countries” vaccinated. I believe it’s in use in Indonesia, Philippines, and 1 or 2 other places already. There doesn’t seem to be as much $$ in it as there is Pfizer/Moderna. It does look promising though. And it’s a US based company (albeit the serum is coming from India-which is why it is many months delayed in actually getting to market.) it’s similar to how DTAP, hib, HPV, hep B, and several other common vax we have in the US work.
