As with other COVID-19 vaccines, the Novavax vaccine works by triggering an immune responseagainst the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which sits on the surface of the virus and is what the virus uses to enter cells. Unlike the vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, however, which instruct cells in the body to make the spike protein usin...
As just discussed, the main difference between the Novavax vaccine and the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is the more standard vaccine design. Protein subunit vaccines are common, and include hepatitis B and influenza vaccines, among others. Even compared with the J&J vaccine, which uses a viral vector, the protein-based approach is more typical for vaccin...
