They pushed that timeline out back in June. Current projecting for getting the EUA and rolling out the Vax is late September (unless something changed in the last few days).
In about two weeks, of course!
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.
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.

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.
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:

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:

Novavax is a subunit vaccine, a technology that has been around for multiple decades. It is a method used by a variety of immunizations that most Americans have already received.
Hence the "traditional" term that people tend to use for Novavax.
Thank you - it was a bit of a leading question. It seems that most people who have objections to the mRNA vaccines are a little hazy on how they work / what they do, or they are comparing them to an attenuated virus vaccine, or have read that the spike protein itself is super dangerous.
The reason I asked was to see which objection he was bringing up.
