“Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authorization last week, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted unanimously today to recommend use of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine as a primary series for individuals aged 18 and older. The Novavax vaccine—a traditional protein-based vaccine—offers an additional option for adults who remain unvaccinated against COVID-19.

“After a thorough review of the scientific data, FDA authorized and ACIP recommended a two dose primary series of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine. The product is not authorized as a booster at this time. About 26–37 million US adults have not yet received a single dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and would benefit from starting a primary series. Data suggests that some people who have remained unvaccinated against COVID-19 have been waiting for authorization of a traditional protein-based vaccine before getting vaccinated.

“The scientific evidence is clear that the available COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective in preventing hospitalization, severe illness, and death. We continue to strongly urge everyone who has not yet been vaccinated against COVID-19 and is eligible, including pregnant people, to get vaccinated as soon as possible, and when eligible to get a booster dose, to protect themselves and their loved ones. Anyone with questions about the vaccines should speak with their physician and review trusted resources, including getvaccineanswers.org.”
