Novavaxs Updated COVID-19 Vaccine Now Available in Sweden

December 14, 2023

Novavaxs updated protein-based non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is now available for order by healthcare professionals and use in Sweden. The Public Health Agency in Sweden has recommended the vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 in individuals aged 30 and older.

We are pleased that our updated protein-based vaccine is now available for healthcare providers to start vaccinating people before the holiday season in Sweden. A diverse vaccine portfolio with both mRNA and non-mRNA options is critical to helping to protect those most at risk against COVID-19.

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
