Novavax's Covid-19 jab is more than 90 percent effective, including against coronavirus variants, the vaccine maker says after a large-scale US study

Novavax also detected variants of Covid-19 first found in Brazil, South Africa and India among its trial participants, Novavax's head of research and development, Dr. Gregory Glenn, told Reuters.

It was roughly 70 percent effective against Covid-19 variants that Novavax was unable to identify, Glenn said. The Maryland-based company has repeatedly pushed back production forecasts and has struggled to access raw materials and equipment needed to make its vaccine.
