The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization Wednesday for the COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Maryland-based biotechnology company Novavax, the fourth COVID vaccine available in the U.S.
The two-dose vaccine, administered three weeks apart, will be available to adults and is the first available in the U.S. with a traditional vaccine composition using non-infectious pieces of coronavirus particles.
Trials with some 30,000 adults in the U.S. and Mexico found the vaccine to be 90.4 percent effective at preventing mild, moderate and severe cases of the virus.
However, those trials were conducted prior to the emergence of the delta and omicron variants, according to the FDA.
“Today’s authorization offers adults in the United States who have not yet received a COVID-19 vaccine another option that meets the FDA’s rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said.
An FDA advisory panel voted 21-0, with one abstention, last month to recommend an emergency use approval for the vaccine.
Commonly reported side effects of the vaccine were similar to the other three available in the U.S., including fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headaches, fever and pain, tenderness, redness and swelling at the injection site.
As of Wednesday, 67 percent of all U.S. residents have completed their initial vaccination series. Of those, nearly 48 percent have also received at least one booster dose to bolster their immune protection.
It’s the Summer Blend !
Fauci- vaccines “don’t work overly well”.
21-0 Vote. Perfect example of Group Think
The “emergency” IS OVER!!!!
Thanks for Awakening so many people with your utter incompetence & greed.
Ya know, I’ve lost more friends on social media this year than ever before. Being right, about everything, has its consequences I guess.
People can’t stand the truth. No one is really a TRUE friend anymore. They always want something from you, or just needed fabebook/instagram numbers. You are better off without them lurking..
Just before the election in November, we’ll have the MId-term 2.0 version.
Remember the days where pharma companies had to get legitimate approval for drugs, not just “emergency use authorization”
Pepperidge farm, remembers…

I’ll consider it after factual reports and documented cases of adverse reactions.

Ridiculous that this is happening under an emergency use authorization – even if you believe that currently Covid is an emergency, this vax was designed for the old strain of it, so its efficacy is going to be low. Almost everybody has already been vaxxed or had Covid or both. I guess it is good, for the few who need it, that there is an alternative to the mRNA vaccines. This one is an older vaccine technology.
Between this decision and the one to authorize the mRNA jabs for babies, this one is fine. The other one is batguano crazy and evil.
Big deal. Covid is over. At one time I thought that would be the only covid vaccine I would consider. Now that omicron is dominant and mild, and the Novavax vaccine is formulated for the original Wuhan strain, what is the sense?
Plus, we now know that vaccine produced antibodies wane drastically in a short time and eventually produce negative efficacy. I’d be curious if this vaccine would follow that same pattern. (Still not taking it though.)
I will be skipping this as I have skipped all the shots & WOW no problems go figure…
I refuse their poison. I feel for everyone who will soon be getting sick from the long term effects of the mandated vaccines.
@FPN *100, +200
Never got the shots; never will; never got sick! Still a very healthy
75 year old!!
But Novavax has what people need. It contains electrolytes!
NEWS FLASH: None of the COVID HOAX vaccines are fully approved. The only one that is “approved” hasn’t been manufactured yet by anyone. You are all lab rats in the largest experiment ever. I have never worn a mask. And believe me I remember 99% of you were. We are not the same. I told everyone here over and over..It was always about crushing anyone who fall in line with what the globalists want. You are the carbon they want to get rid of. Plymouth Rock has sat at sea level since 1620. The sea level hasn’t risen at all. Figure out if they lie about everything or not. It ain’t hard to see, you should consult your doctor about partaking in the experiment.
All scientists agree with your results when you censor those who don’t.
The only “emergency” is certain high-ranking FDA officials need to off their newly acquired shares of Novavax before the market crashes due to high interest rates and the resulting decrease in liquidity.
