The COVID-19 pandemic

I'm hoping Canada works to secure doses of novavax. So far it appears to be the most effective against variants and being a traditional style vaccine will hopefully push the last remaining in the group of vaccine hesitancy to get their shots

I thought AZ was also traditional…but obviously it had some side effects that have derailed its use. In this day in age, a 1/50,000 side effect, that won’t kill you if treated, is worse than a 1/500 chance of dying of a disease.

AZ was not traditional, it is more traditional than Pfizer and Moderna but it is not the same as Novavax. AZ uses double DNA technology, whereas Novavax uses lab made spike proteins that mimic the covid spike proteins to train our body to fight off an infection. It's the standard method that's been used for decades and has had the highest recorded efficacy of all vaccines thus far. Hopefully given its traditional nature it will be approved for the under 12 category and I personally believe it should be the vaccine prioritized for anyone under 18
