Will Ho Ching import the Novavax vaccine? Please, no more experimental mRNA vaccines. This is the real antidote based on proven 20 year old biotechnology.
The request for a go-ahead is based on data from approximately 45,000 patients.
That includes 15,000 people from a phase 3 U.K. trial that showed the vaccine, dubbed NVX-CoV2373, had 96.4% efficacy against the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, 86.3% against the Alpha variant and 89.7% overall. Novavax also sent in data from a trial of about 30,000 people in the U.S. and Mexico which showed 100% protection against moderate and severe disease and 90.4% efficacy overall.
Novavax and partner the Serum Institute of India have already filed the jab for authorization in India, Indonesia and the Philippines, and have requested an emergency use listing with the World Health Organization. Through the WHO arrangement, Novavax and SII are expected to deliver 1.1 billion doses.
