Mr Hunt said because it is a protein-based vaccine, it may be suitable for people who have had “had contrary indications or reactions with regards to other vaccines”.
The Novavax vaccine is expected to be available to Australians from February 21. Picture: Andrew Baballero/AFPMore than 48 million doses of the Covid vaccines have been administered across the country, including almost two million in the last week, he said. “It can be taken by those who have had Covid, on the advice of ATAGI, and for the severely immunocompromised, three doses are recommended, as is the case with the other vaccines.”
Novavax will roll out in the coming weeks once it passes additional TGA testing. Picture: Chandan Khanna/AFP“That’s the choice they have made, but once it’s approved it will be available … they will be able to get it as quickly as they can.” For that reason, it is considered to be more of a “traditional” vaccine. In contrast, the Australian Government’s Department of Health website explains that the AstraZeneca vaccine uses a harmless, weakened animal virus that contains the genetic code for the coronavirus spike protein.
The immune system cells then recognise the spike protein as a threat and begin building an immune response against it.These jabs do not contain any live virus and cannot give you Covid.It is recommended that the vaccine is given in two doses, which are to be administered three weeks apart.
Not to be confused with Novaknovax, which does nothing but make you irritable…
many anti-vaxxers kept saying they were waiting for this vaccine, in reality, they have no intention to be vaccinated and are conspiracy theorists.
What’s the point when most of Australia is vaccinated and you can’t have this one for a booster (unfortunately)
