Novavax announced Monday it has formally submitted a request to the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to grant emergency use authorization (EUA) for its two-dose vaccine, NVX-CoV2373, for people 18 years and older.
If granted, NVX-CoV2373 would become the fourth COVID-19 vaccine to be made available in the United States. Currently available COVID-19 vaccines are the mRNA-based vaccines—one from Pfizer-BioNTech and the other from Moderna—as well as the non-replicating viral vector vaccine from Johnson & Johnson.
