Stephanie Snow+FollowNovavax Gets the Green Light—But With a CatchNovavax’s COVID-19 vaccine just scored full FDA approval, but here’s the twist: it’s only for people 65+ or those 12–64 with health risks. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna, this protein-based shot isn’t for everyone yet—kids under 12 are still waiting on more data. The FDA’s also asking for more studies, especially on heart safety. If you’ve been holding out for a non-mRNA option, this could be your moment (if you qualify)! #Novavax #COVID19Vaccine #FDAApproval #HealthNews #VaccineUpdate #Health10Share
elizabethwang+FollowNovavax Vax Gets Green Light—With a CatchThe FDA just approved Novavax’s COVID vaccine, but there’s a twist: it’s only for people 65+ or anyone 12-64 with a health condition that ups their COVID risk. No word yet on what counts as an ‘underlying condition’—classic FDA move. If you were hoping for a new vax option for kids, you’ll have to wait; those studies aren’t done yet. Big milestone for Novavax, but definitely not a free-for-all! #Novavax #COVID19 #FDAApproval #VaccineUpdate #Health20Share

Christian Boone+FollowNovavax’s Big FDA Moment?Novavax’s COVID shot might finally get full FDA approval—making it the only protein-based vaccine sticking around in the U.S. for the long haul. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA shots, Novavax uses a more old-school approach (think: lab-grown spike proteins). The FDA just wants a bit more data before giving the green light. If approved, Novavax could stay on shelves even after health emergencies end. Did you know this vaccine is still in the game? #Novavax #COVID19 #VaccineNews #FDAApproval #HealthUpdate #Health61Share
