Novavax has initiated the administration of booster doses of NVX-CoV2373, its COVID-19 vaccine, in the pediatric expansion of the PREVENT-19 Phase 3 trial for participants aged 12 to 17. This trial aims to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a third dose, with initial results expected in the second half of 2022. The booster dose mirrors the previous two-dose regimen and will be given at least five months after the second dose. While Novavax emphasizes the ongoing need for alternative vaccine options, NVX-CoV2373 has yet to receive U.S. FDA authorization.
