Novavax

Novavax is a biotechnology company that develops vaccines to protect against infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Its COVID-19 vaccine uses a protein-based approach, meaning it contains a harmless piece of the virus (the spike protein) to stimulate the immune system without causing illness. This method is different from mRNA vaccines like Pfizer or Moderna. Novavax's vaccine is stored at standard refrigerator temperatures, making distribution easier. It has been shown to be effective in preventing COVID-19 and is often used as an alternative for those who cannot or prefer not to receive other types of vaccines.
