In the #US & #Mexico trial of #Novavax vaccine (where 50% were #Alfa variant), it shows an overall efficacy of 90.4% & 100% efficacy against moderate or severe disease, on par with the vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna nytimes.com/2021/06/14/hea…
“Novavax may be used as a booster in the U.S., but it’s certainly will be the first vaccine a lot of people are going to see around the world”
#Novavax new booster vax against #Beta variant is also found highly immunogenic in #baboon studies. A strong anamnestic response was demonstrated in baboons boosted with rS-B.1.351 approximately one year after immunization with #NVXCoV2373 (rS-WU1)

@Novavax This high efficacy across all categories is incredibly impressive (even when comparing to Pfizer & Moderna) because this trial was done with circulating variants of concern (#VOC). 
And above all, #Novavax is as safe as a placebo!
➡️ Side effects: much lower than mRNA & viral vector vaccines ➡️ Only a very low number of serious & severe adverse events, but they occurred equally in the vaccine and placebo groups

US disinterest in according EUA to #Novavax may benefit #India. As per Indian government estimates, 200 million Novavax shots (50 million a month) can be available during September-December & number may rise
