JUST IN: The FDA has issued an emergency use authorization for Novavax's COVID vaccine as a booster shot for all adults in the U.S., including those who initially received Pfizer’s or Moderna’s shots.

"The U.S. now has access to the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted, the first protein-based option, as a booster," Stanley Erck, president and CEO of Novavax, said in a statement Wednesday.

"According to [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] data, almost 50 percent of adults who received their primary series have yet to receive their first booster dose. Offering another vaccine choice may help increase COVID-19 booster vaccination rates for these adults," Erck added.Novavax's vaccine is also the first and only protein-based vaccine authorized for use as a booster.

EUA seems to be the new approval process. We've skipped the old outdated drug approval process with all those silly drug approval stages. More good news! We've also updated the requirements to mice-only data when updating vaccines. Moving at the 'speed of science' is important.

LOL Yes let the lemmings do this. I am sure years of studies have gone into making sure there will be zero side effects or reactions.

First non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Similar to other vaccines we're use to. 'Data on the vaccine’s efficacy was gathered before Omicron became the predominant variant, so its efficacy against Omicron and its subvariants is unknown.'

By now this is simply a pay to play center. Do you want our endorsement? Just pay us and you'll get our star in the window of your store. ASE certified, Gephart Approved, Glenn Beck's realtors I trust, etcc....

Nope! Not ever.

No way!!!!!! Need long term studies!
