Novavax's protein-based COVID-19 vaccine approved for use in Canada | FULL

Health Canada announced on Thursday it has approved Novavax's protein-based COVID-19 vaccine for use in the country for people 18 years or older.

Health Canada said in a news release that Novavax's two-shot Nuvaxovid vaccine was shown to have 90 per cent effectiveness at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 and 100 per cent effectiveness at preventing severe disease.

Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said on Thursday that the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) continues to recommend mRNA vaccines to most people due to their high protection and well-established safety profiles.

However, the committee recommends Novavax to people unable or unwilling to get mRNA vaccines.

Novavax is not authorized as a booster dose but it may be given as a booster to people unable or unwilling to take an mRNA vaccine.

Weird how hundreds of thousands of people have mingled and interacted with one another during the peaceful protests yet no one is dropping dead. Give it a rest, the coof is over

"When a government starts trying to cancel dissent or avoid dissent is when it's rapidly losing moral authority."

I was holding out for this since the beginning but after all the nasty behaviour I’ve seen by my government I think I’ll pass

Tell The PM to drop the mandates, Save Canada

[lando]

How is the vaccine the best protection when it's not working?

[theresalawrence]

I’ll never trust government with my health again.

[wmnsriteslol]

Ya...no thanks. You guys couldn't have been more wrong on everything if you did it on purpose. In fact I'm starting to believe that it was

[happydays]

UNTIL THE COMPANY HAS LIABILITY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO TAKE IT!!!!

[deantiller]

after receiving hundreds of millions of dollars, we have determined that whatever the company has paid us off to endorse, is safe and effective.

[randomness]

It doesn't matter what's in it, what it does in the short or long term.. if they're benefiting the industry and they can profit, it's approved!

And how much does Trudeau and the rest of you make off stock in NovaVax?
That IS why he refuses to answer
“If 90% isn’t good enough, does he actually expect 100% of Canadians to get it?”
Of course he does. Maximizes profit.

ive had covid...why do i need a vaccine?. I had delta and recently, most of my family got omicron and I couldnt get it, i tried lol

[Alyssa]

I had delta .. unvaxed. Recovered just fine. I’ll stick with a healthy diet and exercise thanks.

[doctordutch]

Why did Health Canada delay the approval of Novavax for the entirety of 2021 after the government said it would manufacture the Novavax vaccine in Montreal?

[kcn]

What about natural immunity? I’ve had omicron. Why would I need this for something I’m already protected from

[jerichochawls]

Would’ve taken it a year ago, but now I realize this was never about a virus. My bodily autonomy is more important.

[lovelinespoetry]

side affects sound exactly the same, what did they do, just change the name and trying to pass it off as natural. SHAME ON YOU,
