The results of the third phase trial of Novavax vaccine came out, 90.4% effective in fighting corona infection

The results of the third phase trial prepared by the American company Novavax have come out. The company said Monday that it has proven to be very effective against the coronavirus. The vaccine has shown a final efficacy of 90.4% in mild, moderate, and sewer diseases. The trial is being conducted in Britain.

Emergency use of the vaccine is expected to be approved soon due to better results. The vaccine has also been effective in protecting against different variants. The company has announced the results amid a worldwide shortage of vaccines.

How effective impact for India

Novavax and the Serum Institute of India, an Indian company, have signed a contract to manufacture doses of corona vaccine worth Rs 200 crore a year. The deals were signed in August. As per the agreement, at least 100 crore doses will be produced for low and middle-income countries and India.

Now that the trial results are out, the company will seek approval for emergency use in the US, UK, and Europe in the third quarter of 2021. For this reason, it is difficult to get the vaccine before September.

The company is also testing the vaccine on children

Novavax has begun trials on its vaccine children. The company has started trials on 3,000 children aged 12-17. However, it has not yet been approved in any country. The children involved will be monitored for two years.

The US has already done a deal worth Rs 12,000 crore

Novavax has agreed to provide 100 million doses to the United States. The deal is worth 1. 1.6 billion (about Rs 12,000 crore). In addition, agreements have been reached with Britain, Canada, and Japan for vaccine supply.
