Novavax vaccine over 90% effective in U.S. trial
Novavax Inc on Monday reported late-stage data from its U.S.-based clinical trial showing its vaccine is more than 90% effective against COVID-19 across a variety of variants of the virus.
Novavax reported late-stage data from its U.S.-based clinical trial on Monday (June 14), showing its vaccine is more than 90% effective against COVID-19 across a variety of variants of the virus.
The Maryland-based company said the study of nearly 30,000 volunteers in the United States and Mexico puts Novavax on track to file for emergency authorization in the U.S. and elsewhere in the third quarter this year.
Novavax's protein-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate was more than 93% effective against the predominant variants of COVID-19 that have been worrying scientists and public health officials.
It said that during the trial, the B.1.1.7 variant first discovered in Britain became the most common variant in the United States.
Head of research and development, Dr. Gregory Glenn, told Reuters that the company also detected variants first found in Brazil, South Africa, and India among its trial participants.
The vaccine was 91% effective among volunteers at high risk of severe infection and 100% effective in preventing moderate and severe cases of COVID-19.
It was roughly 70% effective against COVID-19 variants that Novavax was unable to identify.
Novavax says it's on track to produce 100 million doses per month by the end of the third quarter of 2021 and 150 million doses per month in the fourth quarter of this year.
Back in May, Novavax said had begun its regulatory filing in India in partnership with the Serum Institute of India, which is contracted to make Novavax shots.

have seen their first increase in ranks, changing course
on a historic exodus of officers in recent years.
According to a recent survey,
2023 saw more officers sworn in
than any of the previous four years. .
At the same time, the survey by the Police Executive
Research Forum (PERF) also found that fewer law

I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows we’re
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.
NBC reports that declining numbers left
many police departments with a shortage of
officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.
NBC reports that in addition to increased pay and
benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring

Federal safety officials revealed on Wednesday that the pilot of the cargo freighter, which caused the collapse of a highway bridge into Baltimore Harbor, had radioed for tugboat assistance and reported a power loss just minutes before the incident. The National Transportation Safety Board highlighted that the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a vital traffic artery constructed in 1976, lacked structural redundancies commonly found in newer bridges, rendering it more susceptible to catastrophic collapse.
