Novavax hopes its COVID shot wins over FDA, vaccine holdouts

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Jun 2, 2022 6:30 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Americans may soon get a new COVID-19 vaccine option _ a more traditional kind of shot known as a protein vaccine.

The Food and Drug Administration is evaluating the vaccine made by Novavax. It's late in the pandemic for a new choice. But with millions still unvaccinated _ or who need a booster _ the Maryland-based company is hoping to find a niche.

Its vaccine is made very differently than the widely used Pfizer and Moderna shots. Novavax's COVID-19 shots are authorized in numerous other countries, but U.S. clearance is a key hurdle.
