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.
