BREAKING: CDC recommends Novavax's two-dose Covid vaccine for adults, giving Americans another option to protect against the virus.
authorized the Novavax vaccine for emergency use
In a presentation to the advisory panel Tuesday, CDC officials said that people ages 18 and older who are not immunocompromised should get the two doses of Novavax's vaccine three to eight weeks apart. Those who are immunocompromised should receive two doses three weeks apart. Pfizer-BioNTech's and Moderna's vaccines, by contrast, were the first mRNA vaccines authorized. They use a snippet of the coronavirus’s genome to instruct the body to produce the spike protein internally, which triggers the development of antibodies.
Common side effects included pain or tenderness at the injection site, fatigue, muscle pain and headaches. Fever was extremely rare.
