FDA authorizes Novavax’s updated Covid vaccine, paving way for fall rollout


The decision comes only a week after it approved a new round of messenger RNA shots from Pfizer and Moderna, which both target an offshoot of JN.1 called KP.2.

The FDA authorized Novavax's updated protein-based Covid vaccine for emergency use in people ages 12 and up, which targets the highly contagious omicron subvariant JN.1. The vaccine provides protection against descendants of JN.1 that are currently dominant in the U.S. and is a valuable alternative for people who don't want to take mRNA shots from Pfizer and Moderna.
