CVS or rite-aid are where I'd go if I didn't already get a third shot. If you're going the immunocomprised route anecdotal reports here have CVS giving the least amount of fucks. If you're going to max titers it, rite-aid's official company policy is to not turn anybody away if they don't have id or insurance. ymmv

rite aid is where i got my booster, with a fake name. saying i didn't have id or insurance didn't cause any problems.

monoclonal: One specific antigen site is targeted for antibody manufacture and harvest in cell cultures

polyclonal: multiple sites of an antigen are targeted from manufacturing and harvest in cell cultures

it's actually a bit harder to select for monoclonal manufacture. the benefit is that there is far less chance of something going fucky in the patient when you are injecting a single form of an antibody instead of a diverse soup of antibodies that act against the targeted antigen in different ways and potentially cross react with your body in unforeseen ways

I've been putting off my vaccine due to never leaving the house. My hypochondria is acting up and I'm kind of anxious about getting the jab due to a irrational feel of getting an adverse effect. Is there any good material for reassurance?

they billed your insurance and it got rejected by the insurance company with a flag saying "this dude had 2 shots already"

It seems to have higher rate of side effects than most vaccines but I think it's still like 2/3rds don't notice anything at all with a large proportion of the reported side effects being limited to injection site soreness and lethargy.

Pfizer is less likely to cause side effects if you can get it.
