I had two NOVAvax the last one being 6 months ago. I have been planning to get my third shot in the next week or two based on your earlier recommendation assuming they are still available. Are they? I’m in the US.

All of the Novavax 2023-2024 doses in the USA expired on May 31, 2024. They won't be making any new doses of that in the USA. Novavax is currently manufacturing doses of the 2024-2025 vaccine and will have them in distribution centers in the USA in August. I assume that means they'll be applying for approval in late July or early August so that people can start getting doses then.
The dosage schedule for the booster is *no sooner than* 6 months. So 6-9 months for the booster should be fine.
Though as Don said in this post, you should plan to get 2 doses of the updated JN.1 Novavax, two months apart for the best protection.
In my area, everyone says they are out and the Health Department says they don’t have that vaccine. I had to travel to another state to get my first Novavax 8 months ago. They are making it very difficult to stay up to date.
I tried to get another Novavax. CVS website said they had it at our small town pharmacy, but the RPh couldn't find it. I was in a town 58 miles N and stopped in to the Target CVS. First, I was told they didn't have Novavax, which I questioned. Oh, yeah, we do , but we're not taking walk-ins for vaccines today. Make an appointment. But, your website specifies no appointment needed for Novavax. Too bad, our pharmacist is too busy!
Another day, I go back to the Brainerd Target where I had gotten my last Novavax and the friendlier pharmacist there. She gave me the bad news that her Novavax has expired and she doesn't expect more.
I decided to give in and get the MMR at an upcoming doctor appointment. Seems they just ran out and outdated on all Covid vaccines. So did the next pharmacy. Back to CVS. They have the Pfizer, but you must have an appointment. Go back the next day and get injection 2.5 hours before getting infected on a drive to a political Convention.
Three days later, positive Covid test. Cancel Oncologist appointment, scans, flights, hotel. Back to CVS for Paxlovid. When I tell the clerk my story, she informed me that CVS is no longer giving the vaccine.
I guess preventative medicine is not as profitable as a continuous pandemic...or an opioid epidemic.
