Reading
The FDA has approved the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine. This approval has some special rules about who can get it. This was a long wait for the Novavax company.
Novavax makes a protein-based vaccine, which is different. Before, it was only allowed for people ages 12 and up. The FDA now allows it fully, but only for some people.
Adults over 65 can get the Novavax vaccine fully approved. People ages 12-64 with health problems can also get it. Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are already fully approved for more people.
Experts will soon talk about yearly COVID vaccines. They will discuss who should get them each year. The Novavax decision might show what the government already thinks.
The FDA did not explain why there are rules for the vaccine. Some people think it is because of worries about vaccines. Novavax tested the vaccine and showed it was safe and worked well.
