mal ein interessanter neuer Tweet der GAVI:
How next-generation COVID-19 vaccines could help to end the pandemic
NEW AND NEXT-GENERATION CANDIDATES
On 4 November, the US biotech company Novavax submitted an emergency use application for its NVX-CoV2373 vaccine candidate to the World Health Organization (WHO). If approved, this would be the first protein-based vaccine to be recommended, although others may not be far behind: China-based Clover Biopharmaceuticals and India-based Biological E expected to file emergency use applications for their own protein-based vaccines to various countries in early 2022.
Protein-based vaccines are already in widespread use for other diseases, including hepatitis B and influenza, and are safe and effective. Inexpensive to produce in many cases, and only requiring refrigeration during transportation and storage, rather than freezing, they could further help to improve access to COVID-19 vaccination in lower-income countries.
Both Novavax and Clover have already signed deals for hundreds of millions of doses with COVAX, assuming they receive WHO authorisation. And the Serum Institute of India (SII) is already making Novavax doses for supply to Indonesia, which recently authorised it. It has also agreed to make doses for the Philippines, which granted an EUA for the vaccine on 17 November. Potentially, SII could further ramp up supply to expand access to the vaccine to other countries.
