FOR MEDICAL AUDIENCES ONLY

Novavaxs updated protein-based non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is now available for use in Germany for the prevention of COVID-19 in individuals aged 12 and older.

We are pleased that our vaccine is now available for healthcare providers to start vaccinating communities across Germany before the holidays. Freedom of choice for either non-mRNA or mRNA options as part of a diverse vaccine portfolio is critical to ensuring healthcare providers have options to help protect communities across Germany against COVID-19 this vaccination season and in future.

Non-clinical datashowed that Novavax's updated COVID-19 vaccine induced functional immune responses against XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16 and XBB.2.3 variants. Additional non-clinical data demonstrated that Novavax's vaccine induced neutralizing antibody responses to subvariants BA.2.86, EG.5.1, FL.1.5.1 and XBB.1.16.6 as well as CD4+ polyfunctional cellular (T-cell) responses against EG.5.1 and XBB.1.16.6. These data indicate Novavax's vaccine can stimulate both arms of the immune system and may induce a broad response against currently circulating variants.1,2
