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:

A bit of an update for us waiting for this vaccine is it was approved by the committee who recommends drugs and vaccines and now just needs the full EUA approval. Just this week the first shipments to the US from the main supplier of vaccines in India has arrived in the US. A good sign that full approval is probably days away here are the 2 anouncements
Committee Approval:

First Shipment arrives in US:

So we are still waiting for full EUA Approval but the major issue as I've heard was supply issues and with the Shipment it would seem that those have been solved.

Does anyone know if Novavax will eventually be available to those who haven’t been able to get mRNA boosters because of serious side effects, such as neuropathy? I read that it is available as first round vaccines, not boosters. I’m looking for a safe booster as soon as I can possibly get one. I got my first booster of Moderna before getting the neuropathy and am desperate to find a safe alternative.

While the Novavax vaccine is a great option for those unvaccinated who are (deservedly) hesitant to get the mRNA vaccines, a note of caution for those of us who are vaccine injured. Many of us had an autoimmune reaction provoked by the spike protein encoded by the Covid vaccines. The Novavax vaccine contains fragments of the spike protein, so it could potentially aggravate our autoimmune response. I don't think anyone knows for sure.
