Novavax hopes its COVID shot wins over FDA, vaccine holdouts

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.
