The Food and Drug Administration has issued a long-awaited approval of Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine but with unusual restrictions.
Novavax makes the nation’s only traditional protein-based coronavirus vaccine – and until now it had emergency authorization from FDA for use in anyone 12 and older.
But late Friday, the FDA granted the company full approval for its vaccine for use only in adults 65 and older – or those 12 to 64 who have at least one health problem that puts them at increased risk from COVID-19.
Vaccines made by Novavax’s competitors Pfizer and Moderna already are fully licensed for use in anyone 12 and older, and also are authorized for use in children as young as 6 months.
I feel that. I got COVID (confirmed) back in august and while it screwed up my stomach for 3 weeks my respiratory was fine.
Forgot to vaxx for flu and got it in November, very literally couldn’t breathe properly for 8 weeks.
Got a lot of gray hair from COVID though.
ETA: I did get COVID vaccine when it first came out, and am pro-vax/pro-mask. Just sharing anecdotal experience.
