Insights
Novavax's FDA approval for its 2025-2026 COVID vaccine creates revenue opportunity as the only protein-based alternative to mRNA vaccines.
The FDA approval of Novavax's Nuvaxovid for the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccination season represents a significant regulatory milestone for the company. This authorization positions Nuvaxovid as the only protein-based, non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine available in the U.S. market, creating a valuable differentiator in a field dominated by mRNA technologies.
The approval scope covers adults 65+ and individuals 12-64 with high-risk conditions, capturing key demographics for COVID-19 vaccination. The company's data showing effectiveness against currently circulating JN.1 lineage strains (including NB.1.8.1, LP.8.1, XFG, XFC, LF.7, and XEC) is particularly important as these variants represent the vast majority of global infections as of July 2025.
Notably, this approval activates Novavax's commercial partnership with Sanofi, where Sanofi leads commercialization while Novavax receives ongoing tiered royalties from vaccine sales. This arrangement allows Novavax to generate revenue without shouldering the full commercial infrastructure costs. The standard safety warnings regarding myocarditis/pericarditis risks are consistent with other COVID-19 vaccines and don't represent unexpected regulatory hurdles.
This approval reinforces Novavax's market position with a differentiated technology platform that may appeal to individuals hesitant about mRNA vaccines, potentially capturing market share in specific demographic segments seeking alternatives to established mRNA options.
- Nuvaxovid� is the only protein-based, non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine available in the
U.S. for the 2025-2026 vaccination season
"With today's approval, we will work with our partner Sanofi to provide access to a protein-based, non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine for eligible individuals this fall," said John C. Jacobs, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax.
Clinical and preclinical dataÌýhave previously shown thatÌýNuvaxovid is safe and effective for the prevention of COVID-19.1,2 Both clinical and preclinical data from Nuvaxovid confirm that the JN.1 strain vaccination induces immunity across currently circulating JN.1 lineage strains, including NB.1.8.1, LP.8.1, XFG, XFC, LF.7 and XEC.ÌýAs of July 2025, the vast majority of COVID-19 infections globally are caused by variants within the JN.1 strain.3
Sanofi is leading commercialization efforts for Nuvaxovid and Novavax is eligible to receive ongoing tiered royalties from sales of the vaccine.
VACCINE AUTHORIZATION (
Nuvaxovid is a vaccine indicated for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 65 years of age and older, or 12 years through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Contraindications
- Do not administer Nuvaxovid to individuals with a known history of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of Nuvaxovid or to individuals who had a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) following a previous dose of Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine,ÌýAdjuvanted.
Warnings and Precautions
- Management of Acute Allergic Reactions: Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of Nuvaxovid.
- Myocarditis and Pericarditis: Clinical trials data provide evidence for increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis following administration of Nuvaxovid. There have been post-marketing reports of myocarditis and pericarditis following administration of Nuvaxovid. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published considerations related to myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis().
- Syncope (fainting): Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including Nuvaxovid. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.
- Altered Immunocompetence: Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished immune response to Nuvaxovid.
- Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness: Nuvaxovid may not protect all vaccine recipients.

About Nuvaxovid�
Nuvaxovid is formulated to target the JN.1 variant. It is a protein-based vaccine made by creating copies of the surface spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19. With Novavax's unique recombinant nanoparticle technology, the non-infectious spike protein serves as the antigen that primes the immune system to recognize the virus, while Novavax's Matrix-M® adjuvant enhances and broadens the immune response. The vaccine is packaged in pre-filled syringes and is stored at 2° to 8°C, enabling the use of existing vaccine supply and cold chain channels.
About Matrix-M® Adjuvant
Matrix-M is Novavax's proprietary adjuvant that can be added to a vaccine or medicine to stimulate a stronger immune response and is currently used in globally approved vaccines. It is clinically proven to induce potent, durable and broad immune responses with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile and allows use of a lower dose of antigen that is still effective.4 Matrix-M is sustainably harvested and manufactured and has the potential to enhance existing and new vaccines. When combined with the Company's recombinant, protein-based nanoparticles, this technology platform is the basis of Novavax's expanding pipeline.
About Novavax
Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX) tackles some of the world's most pressing health challenges with its scientific expertise in vaccines and its proven technology platform, including protein-based nanoparticles and its Matrix-M adjuvant. The Company's growth strategy seeks to optimize its existing partnerships and expand access to its proven technology platform via research and development innovation, organic portfolio expansion in infectious disease and beyond, and forging new partnerships and collaborations with other companies.
