Hundreds of thousands of vaccine-hesitant Australians can now choose another jab with Novavax chief commercial officer John Trizzino hoping the newly approved protein-based vaccine could persuade the 5 per cent of the nation yet to be vaccinated.
“We believe that there’s still a significant percentage of those that haven’t been vaccinated, that just are looking for another option, looking for a protein vaccine,” Mr Trizzino told“They’ve heard a lot about our product and are patiently – or impatiently – waiting for that option to arrive.” Mr Hunt said his office and the TGA had been approached by many unvaccinated Australians indicating that they were seeking access to Novavax, even though the already approved Pfizer vaccine was “appropriate to vaccinate the entire population.”
TGA head John Skerritt said he had received “several hundred emails” from people who specifically wanted the Novavax vaccine. The company was working to submit safety data on Novavax’s use as a booster to the TGA, he said, with hopes that an approval could be secured within weeks. He said the vaccine had the potential to significantly boost vaccination rates in developing nations because it does not require cold chain freezer storage, which “makes for ease of transportation and ease of use.”
Dana_Adele Stop playing geopolitics.... it is a known fact the Russian vaccine is vastly superior
Dana_Adele You won't be touching me or my kids with this pseudo science garbage. We're all educated
Dana_Adele Why bother, doesn’t work.
Dana_Adele Its true that many people have been waiting for Novavax. That's because the priests haven't had a chance to say misleading things about what goes into the other vaccines, BUT where does the protein come from ?
Dana_Adele I want one of each vaccine then I will be covered. I will also feel like a human pin cushion
Dana_Adele * hopes Novavax will get a further 1m people to come forward to be vaccinated. * orders 51 million doses Novavax science vaccine
Dana_Adele Good luck with the LNP clowns. Nothing will be available for months.
Dana_Adele Well it's way to late for most of smh follwers. they obviously can’t tell the difference between antivaxer and a well informed person that chose a better option. considering that so many smh follwers have already been single, double and/or booster shots from Trump's pfizer
Dana_Adele How much vaccine is enough? the people are treated like servicing a car. Next. what’s Next?
