The Novavax vaccine doesn't bode well with the narrative. It's a traditional vaccine with an efficacy similar to the mRNA ones. Bring it on.
Same here. Getting to be a game of chicken with employer mandate timelines and would be nice to have this option on top of a) quit/get fired, b) get JNJ (getting harder to find by the day), and c) take part in the mRNA experiment.longviewag04 said:
Anyone read up or found more info on the pause of the Novavax vaccine in the past few days? I'm seeing where the EU is getting ready to approve, and other countries are lining up to approve, yet the US FDA has put a pause on the manufacturing plants in the US. I am interested in this vaccine due to its use of well established technology process of vaccine and it is holding up with the other mRNA vaccines in both the original strain and the variants.
Well, mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) and viral vector vaccines (J&J) are "nucleic acid vaccines". This method, whether delivering RNA with the first two or DNA with the last one, is basically brand new.Zobel said:texan12 said:

Not sure what you mean by traditional. It's not an attenuated virus. It is manufactured spike proteins along with an adjuvant, something that increases your immune response.
