The national drug regulator has given the green light to the Novavax vaccine, along with two oral treatments for patients currently suffering from COVID-19.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) on Thursday approved the Novavax vaccine, also called Nuvaxovid, for adults aged 18 years and over, making it the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine in the country’s arsenal.
It is advised to be used as a primary vaccine only as studies into using Novavax as a booster shot are still in progress.
Health Minister Greg Hunt on Thursday said he hoped the new jab would increase the nation’s vaccination rates.
“We know that some people have waited for this vaccine, and … hopefully, this will encourage those people in the last five percent to come forward,” Hunt said.
He said the government had secured 51 million doses of the vaccine, with the first batch to arrive in the coming month.
The jab—which is administered in two doses delivered three weeks apart—will be made available through state clinics, GPs and pharmacies.
TGA boss Professor John said his agency was the world’s second major regulator to approve the protein-based vaccine, noting that the vaccine was made using “an older technology.”
“I would have had several hundred emails from individuals and groups who have said for whatever reason we would like to have [this] particular vaccine … this just gives them further choice,” Skerritt told reporters.
“Our dream is to turn 95 percent (vaccination rate) into 97 or 98 percent.”
He added that trials had demonstrated the vaccine had over 90 percent efficacy with “no strong signals of adverse events.”
Novavax still has to get final approval from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), which will decide who will be eligible for the vaccine.
The protein vaccine works by using a non-infectious component found on the surface of novel coronavirus.
After vaccination, immune cells recognise the vaccine protein as foreign and launch an immune response against it.
Novavax is the fifth vaccine to be approved for use in Australia, along with AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen.
Meanwhile, the TGA has also approved the first anti-viral pills, Pfizer’s Paxlovid and Merck Sharp & Dohme’s Lagevrio but stressed that they are not a substitute for vaccinations.
The pills are designed to prevent a patient’s condition from progressing to a more severe stage and work by interfering with the virus’s ability to multiply within the patient’s body.
Each medication should be taken twice a day within the first five days of contracting the virus for those with mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19.
Around 500,000 doses of Paxlovid and 300,000 of Lagevrio are due to arrive in the country in the coming weeks.
Hunt said patients could get the medication either through a prescription from their GP or in the hospital.
“A course of them will help the most vulnerable, particularly some of our older Australians who have always been at more risk from COVID,” he said.
Pregnant women or breastfeeding women are not recommended to get the pills.
AU is now a Chinese proxy state
It's an injection of pure spike proteins, minus the mRNA or Adnovirus or...anything. They grow spike proteins, yes the same ones causing damage to patients now, inside moth cells, then purify them (removing all moth materials) so it's pure spike proteins.
".... the protein-based vaccine, noting that the vaccine was made using “an older technology.”
They're really trying to make it seem better than mRNA or J&J when it's still damaging spike proteins.
"He added that trials had demonstrated the vaccine had over 90 percent efficacy with “no strong signals of adverse events.”
One again, 2 month trials and glowing reports over efficacy during that two months, but it's spike proteins so it will still have the risks of autoimmune illness and negative efficacy...
"The protein vaccine works by using a non-infectious component found on the surface of novel coronavirus."
No one ever said the spike protein was infectious. The problem with the spike proteins is they go everywhere in your body, putting targets on vital organs, ovaries, testes etc.
"After vaccination, immune cells recognise the vaccine protein as foreign and launch an immune response against it."
Yes indeed. Your immune system recognizes the spike proteins in Novavax as foreign and begins attacking them wherever they are attached, including lungs, kidney, heart, ovaries...etc.
"Meanwhile, the TGA has also approved the first anti-viral pills, Pfizer’s Paxlovid and Merck Sharp & Dohme’s Lagevrio but stressed that they are not a substitute for vaccinations."
It's too soon to tell if they are a substitute for 'vaccinations'. I think Fauci was talking about developing a vaccine in pill form. THey aren't going to tell us if that's what Paxlovid is - a pill form of the vax. But we do know Pfizer lied, committed fraud during the Covid 'vaccine' trials, and is hiding damage to patients, so why would anyone trust Pfizer for any reason?
A teenager had seizures and Pfizer recorded it as a stomach ache. Said teenager was in a wheel chair as a result of the 'vax' but they pretend she doesn't exist. She's now on her way to being quadrapalegic...still....crickets.
All the other seizures, strokes, heart attacks, clots, deaths etc.....Pfizer can't see it, hear it, record it, acknowledge it. It's just time for a new product push over at Pfizer.
There's a good reason Pfizer doesn't want to release its raw data from the Covid 'vaccine' trials for 75 years.....
Hardy, Australia is in a cold war with the PRC unlike the USA whose government is controlled by the CPC with Biden and his family making millions of $ paid by the PRC.

Rd later.
Which changes my expected survival rate from 99.8% to what? 99.9%?
And for that I should take an experimental vaccine?
Is there any reason why the medical cure wasn’t developed at the same time as the vaccine?? just curious.
Throw more high dollar, minimally tested drugs at it. HCQ/Ivermectin - outlaw them.
