Approved July 2022 Novavax: New COVID Vaccine May be Available Soon

Posted by Dana, Volunteer Mentor @danab, Jul 28, 2021

I'm excited to see a new COVID vaccine named Novavax making great progress in third phase trials. It uses a more traditional approach similar to the yearly flu vaccine. This makes me more comfortable to get vaccinated. Looking forward to hearing that it will receive the go ahead to distribute soon. The current timetable is to finish trials this month and apply for FDA approval sometime in September. You can read more about the Novovax vaccine in these articles:

It seems that more tracking is done by the UK and Israel. It feels as if the US has given up on this type of tracking.

I did some more looking. Not sure why they got that response at the hospital, but drugs under EUA are tracked on an FDA system called MedWatch. Adverse events are required to be reported.

I wish the article gave more specific information. I am holding out waiting for this vaccination. Hopefully we will hear something here on this link when it gets approved.

I hear you also. A bit frustrating I want to stay true to my convictions but would also like to have this option for protection from this virus.
I'm still hearing in general the plan is to start supplying early 2022. Maybe we will get an early Christmas Present.

If I understood the article I read today, it sounds like Novavax was approved for use in Europe and WHO. (https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/the-novavax-vaccine-against-covid-19-what-you-need-to-know). (https://newsrnd.com/news/2022-01-18-novavax-breakthrough--lauterbach-names-start-date-for-%22quasi-dead-vaccine%22---%22should-work-well%22.SJZWjyp7pY.html) Any word about when it will get the green light in the US? This articles says it might be possible in February. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharysmith/2022/01/10/us-could-authorize-novavax-covid-vaccine-an-mrna-alternative-in-february-ceo-says/?sh=3af9db722191 I am hold out for this vaccination over all the other presently available.
