2 Dose vaccine, or Booster?

Its been a year since my first 2 dose Covid vaccine. Anyone know if booster is needed as Im overdue, or would it just be getting another 2 dose Covid vaccine again since its been a year?
I will also check with my pharmacy, I was curious here too though, if anyone knows.

Hey the novavax and you'll never need anything again. That's what they told me.

@Tastyfrzz she has been vaccinated with previous vaccines. Doesn't matter which one. Yet this is what they say about it...

The Novavax vaccine is only offered to people who haven't received any prior COVID-19 vaccine doses and should not be used as a booster vaccine.

This is why she really should consult with her doctor.
@DeWayfarer Great info!!! Thanks for that!!

@Tastyfrzz Circulating antibodies wane over time independently from the vaccine you take (by design, or your blood would be as thick as honey, if you had persistent antibodies for any and every pathogen you come across with in your lifetime).

T-cell immunity last time I checked is good with any vaccine, is much more persistent (years supposedly, judging by SARS-1 studies) and is potentially what ultimately protects from severe/fatal disease.
