In general, the new shots usually aren’t ready until the end of September/beginning of October, so pharmacies may be using the last of last year’s stock. I know when I got my spring booster in May, neither NovaVax or Moderna were available, so we went with Pfizer as well.
I’m holding off my fall shot until mid-October, so I’ll have maximum effectiveness through the the of February, but it does mean I have to be a bit careful while cases are currently rising in much of the US.

No, that’s not true. Last year they were available in time for me to get them before Dragon Con (i.e. labor day weekend) and (even through so far I didn’t gotten sick after it) I’m pretty mad that that hasn’t been the case this year too.
