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:

Well finally got my first shot yesterday, if your in the Arizona area the Costco's have the Nuvaxovid vaccine in stocks.
So far it's been 24 hours since my shot and no symptoms of it at all. Actually I even played Golf this morning, only 9 n holes don't want to push it but it seems at least the first dose is not giving me any symptoms. I did take Tylenol after the shot just in case but it seems maybe I didn't need to.

I had the Pfizer vaccine and 1 booster but still got covid in nov.2021.
I did have difficult side effects from this vaccine and seems to fall into a category of the “less then 5%” who get adverse reactions to medications, so I am encouraged by the Novavax vaccine.
Is it anticipated that it will be widely available? Will there be any difficulty requesting this vaccine?

Hi everyone well today I got my second shot and haven't had any reactions, in talking with the pharmacist at Costco where I got it She also said She hasn't heard of any adverse reactions. I'll keep everyone updated as I see if this second dose has any other symptoms.
