A federal advisory committee recommended that a fourth COVID-19 vaccine be authorized for use in the USA, this one from Novavax.
Americans may soon get a new COVID-19 vaccine option — a more traditional kind of shot known as a protein vaccine. It's late in the pandemic for a new choice, but Novavax is hoping to find a niche with those who are unvaccinated or need boosters. recommended Tuesday that a fourth COVID-19 vaccine be authorized for use in the USA, this one from Novavax, a company based in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Novavax said it has millions of doses available and ready to be shipped once it receives authorization. Coronavirus variants have emerged since the vaccine was tested, but Novavax officials said they are confident the vaccine will be effective. The company is prepared to"pivot" to protect against other variants as they emerge, according to the statement.
The Novavax vaccine is a protein-based vaccine and includes an adjuvant to boost its effectiveness. The protein-based technology has been used in other vaccines.
