    Good news for those with vaccine hesitancy due to medical concerns - the best vaccine available to date, Novavax is close to being available in Australia:

    A new vaccine from US company Novavax, which has shown to offer greater protection against Covid-19 than Pfizer, could hit Aussie shores this year. Australia has purchased 51 million doses from the drug maker, but its awaiting approval from the medical regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, which needs more paperwork from Novavax.

    Novavax’s phase 3 trials showed a 96.4 per cent efficacy against the original variant of coronavirus and 90 percent against new strains that have emerged with the protein-based vaccine. Other tests have shown Novavax offers 100 per cent protection against moderate and severe disease. Pfizer was found to have a 91.3 per cent efficacy against the original variant of Covid-19, based on preventing symptomatic infections, and was 95.3 per cent effective in preventing severe disease.
