Novavax announced that its COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid™, has been recommended for expanded conditional marketing authorization in the EU for adolescents aged 12-17. The recommendation is based on the Phase 3 PREVENT-19 trial, which demonstrated an efficacy of 80% against COVID-19 and a favorable safety profile among the adolescent population, with lower reactogenicity compared to adults. Nuvaxovid is the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine option for this age group. The vaccine is yet to receive U.S. authorization.

The decision was based on positive Phase 2 trial data showing increased immune responses. The vaccine's side effects were generally mild and short-lived. However, it has yet to receive authorization in the U.S.
Novavax announced that the FDA's Vaccines Advisory Committee voted 21-0, with one abstention, to recommend Emergency Use Authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) for individuals 18 and older.
