    Novavax’s big US-Mexico trial confirmed their protein vaccine works well, with 90 percent efficacy. It’s late for the US, but not for the world. And it might prove a good booster too. Here is my story for @nytimeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/14/health/covid-vaccine-novavax.html …

        Surprised your story did not highlight storage requirements, which still seem a real advantage.

        It's one of the vaccines we're trialling as a 3rd dose booster in the @CovBoost study! Should know by September how it compares to others as a booster, and whether it's different depending on whether your first 2 doses were mRNA or adeno vectorhttp://www.covboost.org.uk

        If we only had the J&J vaccine - should we now get the 2 dose one also?

        #Novavax should be tested ASAP in #transplant recipients, who are more likely to make antibodies to external antigens. @Dorry_Segev @BrianBoyarsky
