Novavax's protein subunit vaccine for COVID-19 has been approved for use in Canadians age 18 and older by Health Canada.

U.S. company struck deals with several governments early in 2020 but had encountered myriad issuesA worker moves boxes carrying Novavax Inc.'s COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid, in Andong, South Korea on Feb. 9. South Korea is among several countries who have been administering the vaccine in recent weeks after the company fell behind others in getting the shots approved by health regulators around the world.

Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam said at a briefing Thursday the first Nuvaxovid delivery is expected in March, arriving from India's Serum Institute. Federal officials said they weren't able to provide any clarity on the size or schedule of the deliveries. Novavax has conducted trials of its vaccine for use in teens when Delta was the dominant variant but has not yet filed for authorization for younger age groups.

The most common potential side effects of the vaccine are said to be in line with what has been documented with the four previously approved COVID-19 vaccines in Canada: soreness at the injection spot, chills, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, nausea and headaches.As it did with several other companies, the federal government struck a deal with Novavax early in the pandemic, with Canada agreeing to purchase 52 million doses.
