The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, sold under the brand names Nuvaxovid and Covovax,[1] among others, is a subunit COVID-19 vaccine developed by Novavax and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).[23]
Medical uses
The Novavax COVID‑19 vaccine is indicated for active immunization to prevent COVID‑19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.[4]
Efficacy
A vaccine is generally considered effective if the estimate is ≥50% with a >30% lower limit of the 95% confidence interval.[24] Efficacy is closely related to effectiveness, which is generally expected to slowly decrease over time.[25]
In December 2021, Novavax reported that its phase III trial showed the vaccine achieved its primary endpoint of preventing infection at least seven days after the second dose.[26] Overall efficacy against different SARS-CoV-2s was 90.4% and efficacy against moderate-to-severe disease was 100%.[27][26] Trials were conducted before the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, which has sharply reduced the effectiveness of authorized vaccines in preventing infections.[28]

Side effects
The most common side effects include fever, headache, nausea, muscle and joint pain, tenderness and pain at the injection site, tiredness, and feeling unwell.[4]
Additional possible side effects include anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction), paresthesia (unusual feeling in the skin, such as tingling or a crawling sensation) and hypoesthesia (decreased feeling or sensitivity, especially in the skin), and pericarditis (inflammation of lining around the heart).[30]
On 27 January 2023, Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration indicated it will add tinnitus to its label.[31]
Handling and administration
The vaccine requires two doses[32] and is stable at 2 to 8 °C (36 to 46 °F) refrigerated temperatures.[33]
Technology
NVX-CoV2373 has been described as both a protein subunit vaccine[34][35] and a virus-like particle vaccine,[36][37] though the producers call it a "recombinant nanoparticle vaccine".[38]
The vaccine is produced by creating an engineered baculovirus containing a gene for a modified SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.[39] The spike protein was modified by incorporating two proline amino acids in order to stabilize the pre-fusion form of the protein; this same 2P modification is being used in several other COVID‑19 vaccines.[40] The baculovirus is made to infect a culture of Sf9 moth cells, which then create the spike protein and display it on their cell membranes. The spike proteins are harvested and assembled onto a synthetic lipid nanoparticle about 50 nanometers across, each displaying up to 14 spike proteins.[34][35][38]
The formulation includes a saponin-based adjuvant[34][35][38] named Matrix-M.
Manufacturing
In February 2021, Novavax partnered with Takeda to manufacture the vaccine in Japan, where its COVID‑19 vaccine candidate is known as TAK-019.[41]
Novavax signed an agreement with Serum Institute of India for mass scale production for developing and low-income countries.[42] In 2020 it was reported, that the vaccine would be manufactured in Spain[43] and in November 2021 it was reported to be produced in Poland by the Mabion company.[44] As of 2021, antigens were made at Novavax's factory Novavax CZ in the Czech Republic;[45] Novavax CZ was also marketing authorisation holder of its EU authorization.[4]
In May 2021, Serum Institute of India said that it started the production of the Novavax COVID‑19 vaccine candidate branded as Covovax in India after receiving permission from the Indian government.[46]
History
In January 2020, Novavax announced development of a vaccine candidate, codenamed NVX-CoV2373, to establish immunity to SARS-CoV-2.[47] Novavax's work is in competition for vaccine development among dozens of other companies.[48]
In March 2020, Novavax announced a collaboration with Emergent BioSolutions for preclinical and early-stage human research on the vaccine candidate.[49] Under the partnership, Emergent BioSolutions was supposed to manufacture the vaccine at large scale at their Baltimore facility.[50] However, following production issues with the Johnson & Johnson and Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccines at its Baltimore plant and to decrease the burden on the plant, Novavax subsequently partnered with a different manufacturer in a new agreement overseen by the U.S. government.[51]
Trials have also taken place in the United Kingdom.[52][53] The first human safety studies of the candidate, codenamed NVX-CoV2373, started in May 2020 in Australia.[54][55]
In July 2020, the company announced it might receive US$1.6 billion from Operation Warp Speed to expedite development of its coronavirus vaccine candidate by 2021 – if clinical trials show the vaccine to be effective.[56][57] A spokesperson for Novavax stated that the $1.6 billion was coming from a "collaboration" between the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Defense.[56][57]
Clinical trials
Phase I and II
In May 2020, Australia's first human trials of a candidate COVID‑19 vaccine, Novavax's NVX-CoV2373, began in Melbourne. It involved about 130 volunteers aged between 18-59.[58]
Phase III
In September 2020, Novavax started for a phase III trial with 15,000 in the UK.[59][60]
In December 2020 Novavax started the PREVENT-19 (NCT04611802) phase III trial in the US and Mexico, funded by NIAID and BARDA.[61][62]
In May 2021, Novavax initiated a pediatric expansion for the phase III clinical trial, with 3,000 adolescents 12–17 years of age in up to 75 sites in the United States.[63]
UK trial
In January 2021, Novavax reported that preliminary results from the United Kingdom trial showed that its vaccine candidate was more than 89% effective.[64][33]
In June 2021, a primary Novavax-funded study found that the vaccine has an overall efficacy of 83.4% two weeks after the first dose and 89.7% one week after the second dose.[29] A post hoc analysis showed an efficacy of 86.3% against the B.1.1.7 (Alpha) variant and 96.4% against "non-B.1.1.7 strains", the majority of which were the "prototype strains" (original strain).[29][65]
South Africa trial
In January 2021, Novavax reported that interim results from a trial in South Africa showed a lower effectiveness rate against the Beta variant (lineage B.1.351), at around 50–60%.[32][66]
In a study reported in March and May 2021, the efficacy of the Novavax vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) was tested in a preliminary randomized, placebo-controlled study involving 2684 participants who were negative for COVID at baseline testing. The Beta variant was the predominant variant to occur, with post-hoc analysis indicating a cross-protective vaccine efficacy of Novavax against Beta of 51.0% for HIV-negative participants.[39][67][68]
US and Mexico trial
In June 2021, Novavax announced overall 90.4% efficacy in the phase III US & Mexico trial that involved nearly 30,000 people aged 18 years of age and older.[69] From the total 77 COVID-19 cases found in the trial participants, 14 occurred in the vaccine group, while 63 occurred in the placebo group.[70]
Administration
About 216,000 doses of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine were administered in the EU/EEA from authorization to 26 June 2022.[30]
Legal status
In February 2021, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) started a rolling review of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX‑CoV2373).[5] In November 2021, the EMA received application for conditional marketing authorization.[71] In December 2021, the European Commission granted a conditional marketing authorization across the EU, following a recommendation from the EMA, for it to be sold under the brand name Nuvaxovid.[72][4][73][74]
As of November 2021, it has been authorized for use in Indonesia,[75] the Philippines,[76] as of December in India,[77] as of January 2022 in South Korea,[78][79] Australia,[80][81] as of February 2022 in the United Kingdom,[82] Canada,[83] Taiwan,[84] and Singapore.[85][86] As of December 2021 it was validated by the World Health Organization.[87]
In June 2022, the FDA's advisory committee voted 21-0 with one abstention to recommend authorization of Novavax's vaccine for use in adults in the United States.[88][89] In July 2022, the FDA authorized NVX-CoV2373 for emergency use as a primary immunization (not booster) in adults.[90][18] making it the fourth COVID‑19 vaccine authorized in the US.[28] In July 2022, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended the Novavax COVID‑19 vaccine as a two-dose primary series for adults age 18 and older, thus endorsing the recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) regarding this vaccine.[91][92] In August 2022, the FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization for the Novavax COVID‑19 vaccine in people aged 12–17 years.[21] In August 2022, the CDC recommended the Novavax COVID‑19 vaccine for adolescents aged 12–17 years.[93]
In October 2023, the FDA amended the emergency use authorization of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted for use in individuals 12 years of age and older to include the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (2023–2024 Formula) and removed the authorization for the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (Original monovalent).[94][95]
