Geoff Jones asked this question about The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand:
If I (re)read original version of THE STAND (vs the "Complete & Uncut Edition"), will I miss out on anything that's set up or paid off in THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT?

However, regarding the main book, the writers were specifically instructed to stay pretty far away from it. Characters and events can only really be mentioned in passing. So, unless mention of "The Kid" happens later in the book (I'm 40% through as of this answer), there isn't anything you'll miss just re-reading the original version. This is all just supplemental stories set in the world, not a continuation of King's work.(less)
