Novavax (Nuvaxovid) - What is it?
The Health Service now has supplies of Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, also known as Nuvaxovid.
It has been provisionally approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for use in a primary course of vaccination in people aged 18 years and older.
Novavax COVID-19 vaccine is a spike protein-based vaccine. Each dose contains the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and Matrix-M as an adjuvant. Novavax COVID-19 vaccine has been demonstrated to be highly effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in adults in a primary schedule, based on phase II-III clinical trials involving over 45,000 participants.
Novavax COVID-19 vaccine is not currently registered by the TGA for use as a COVID-19 booster vaccine. You can learn more about Novavax via the button below.
