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

2 ReactionsMight want to just group this thread in with the other vaccine thread.
@colleenyoung @polywog @connie1977.. My son in law and my daughter were both in the Novavax trial in California. My daughter got the placebo and my son in law got the vaccine. He did not have any serious side effects other than the usual chills and pain. My daughter had since taken the Pfizer. Since they plan to travel to Europe next month, and Novavax had not received approval from FDA, my son in law took a Johnson and Johnson vaccine. He was tested after the Novavax and it showed very high efficacy. I had Moderna and am waiting to hear about a booster!

2 ReactionsQuestion: If you receive the trail vaccination of Novavax, it doesn't count toward being vaccination? That is sad. We know we have to be vaccination before February when we go on a cruise, but REALLY want to get the Novavax. Praying it will be approved and available by November.
We both still have active antibodies from having Covid in January and don't feel comfortable getting a vaccination while still having antibodies. Our son received the Moderna after having a strong case of Covid and had a terrible time with the first injection. (4 months after being sick) Passed on the second one because of his reaction.

1 ReactionThank you Mayofeb2020 for giving us this update great news that it seems to be a great candidate.
By chance did Your Daughter or Son in law hear of any time frame for the FDA approval? Also was there any details on the effectiveness against some of the newer variants?

Thank you Connie for sharing and like the rest n of us looking forward to more news on approval.

Hi polywog thanks for the info I'll be watching for that version also. I know they call the Novavax Covovax in some countries. I'll have to look up the other one.

Polywog, I did read up on the Rega ax but it seems to be an actuated live type vaccine which typically for us who are immune suppressed due to transplant can't take live virus types. But thank you for sharing.
