    Great! I hope the production ramps up as soon as possible *for elsewhere* since the US doesn't need this, but the US FDA approval process is stellar in terms of transparency and information, so I look forward to their EUA application. Any vaccine, everywhere, as soon as possible.https://twitter.com/carlzimmer/status/1404409762213662720 …

    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 @nytimes https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/14/health/covid-vaccine-novavax.html …

        Yes, there are efficacy/variant differences between the vaccines and at some point, there will be sorting through all that, and boosters. But right now, billions remain unvaccinated because there isn't enough of *any* vaccine available to them. That just has to be the priority.

        30,000 of us participated in US trial, now what do we do if Novavax not in US for booster? Would not participate in another trial if I am handicapped in doing so. Also what about misguided mRNA hesitant people in US who would take a traditional vax, could see 5%+ lift in vaxed

        Also, who wants to take mRNA, or even adeno (!!!) as 3rd jab booster? $NVAX

        I think it is a good idea to have some diversity in vaccine types, especially if they end up using resources that do not compete with other vaccines already in production. Plus, the virus mutates and it is possible that a future mutation may render some vaccines obsolete

        I wonder if some Americans who don't trust mRNA vaccine will be willing to get Novavax vaccines.

        and more flexible storage requirements could make a huge difference in terms of reaching more people in more places.
