Britain yesterday approved Novavax’s two-dose Covid-19 vaccine for use in adults, bringing a fifth coronavirus shot to the country amid the rapid spread of the Omicron variant that has led to a spike in cases.
The vaccine, Nuvaxovid, was approved for use in Britons aged 18 years and older as it met the required safety, quality and effectiveness standards, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said in a statement.
The British approval comes days after the drugmaker filed for US authorisation of the vaccine following months of struggles with development and manufacturing problems, and follows a European approval in December which was also delayed. The first shots, which will be made by Serum Institute of India, will not be shipped until March, Silvia Taylor, head of corporate affairs at Novavax, said in a briefing.
She did not give details on volumes.
British authorities and Novavax had in 2020 agreed to a supply of 60mn doses of the shot, while also agreeing to collaborate on late-stage trials for the vaccine in the country.
The US company started shipping doses to the European Union in January, with 27mn expected to arrive in the first quarter and 42mn in the second, Taylor said. Its vaccine in June was found to be more than 90% effective in a US trial against a variety of variants, including Delta, while early data from December also suggested it would work against the Omicron variant.

RE: How long till Britain gets its 500th vaccine.
Well, this latest vaccine of theirs happens to be an AMERICAN vaccine which until now, has NOT Been given EUA.
This vax uses a nanoparticle assembled with the original spike protein. Is it already obsolete?
These vaccines don’t have to actually work. All you have to do is get them “approved” and you’re a billionaire.
it met the required safety, quality and effectiveness standards,
translation=nobody DIED in the trial...
Although the UK was working with Novavax on trials before trials began in he US, and also placed a firm order at that time, long before anywhere else.
