Injections for all, for any reason...FDA authorizes Novavax coronavirus booster shot

[dirtybenny]

For those who don't want mRNA, whatever that is....more injections and more injections.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday granted emergency use authorization to a booster shot for the coronavirus vaccine from Novavax.

The agency said people 18 and older can receive the booster six months after completing their primary series of any coronavirus vaccine authorized in the United States. Hours after the FDA announcement, Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, signed a decision memo allowing use of the booster, the last step before the shots can be administered.

The emergency authorization means the Novavax vaccine can be used as a first booster shot for the messenger RNA vaccines manufactured by Moderna and by Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech. The Novavax shot was developed using a more traditional, protein-based technology and was the first such coronavirus vaccine in the United States using that approach.
