Is vitamin B6 safe? How much is too much? And will I still be able to buy my supplement over the counter?

It is almost impossible for vitamin B6 toxicity to occur from diet alone.
If you’re aged 30 or over and it’s been three months since you either had COVID or received your last COVID vaccine, you’re eligible for a booster.
The Novavax COVID vaccine is now available in Australia. What makes it different from the other vaccines? And why are some people waiting for it to get vaccinated?
Many Australians are yet to have a third COVID vaccine dose, while people overseas are having their fourth shot.
A vaccinated person is less likely to get COVID, is less contagious, and is contagious for a shorter time.
Regulators are currently reviewing the safety and efficacy data of the Pfizer vaccine for five to 11 year olds before deciding whether to approve its use in this age group.
But the immune cells that vaccination spurs do last a long time.
Some countries have started administering third doses of COVID vaccines, or booster shots. But we’re still learning about how long immunity lasts from the first two shots.
While there are plausible explanations for why this occurs, we can’t be certain of the effect of temperature on SARS-CoV-2. Being indoors in poorly ventilated spaces plays a big role.
Researchers around the world are using new and existing technology to develop potential treatments for those with COVID-19. Here’s what’s in development in Australia.
