Why does it even matter? If covid vaccines become a yearly thing, my opinion is that people will not really view it as a vaccine whether it is or not. It will be viewed as a yearly covid shot, and a lot like the flu shot.
The other poster claimed a mRNA vaccine isn’t a vaccine. A vaccine is a vaccine if it is by definition a vaccine whether it is mRNA, live attenuated, recombinant, inactivated, etcetera and regardless of schedule (once, annually, every 10 years.)
You’re the one who brought up the point people typically think of the one shot that got as a kid as a vaccine, but how many of those childhood shots are only one shot? So you’re point is moot. You’ve complained about not having accurate information. Then you posted inaccurate information. Then I made your wish come true and gave you accurate information.
I work for a hospital group and we need to get annual flu shots to protect the patients and the majority know annual flu shots are still vaccines even if you call it a flu shot.
