San Diego County public health officials Thursday again reminded county residents that a more traditional option for the COVID-19 vaccine is available in the protein-based Novavax shot.
Novavax is only available to people who have not received any of the other COVID-19 vaccines. It is not yet authorized as a booster shot for people who have previously been vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna or Janssen. It has been authorized as a two-dose primary series, given three to eight weeks apart, to people ages 18 and older. Clinical trials showed that the vaccine series is 90% effective at preventing mild, moderate and severe COVID-19.
The number of those patients hospitalized as of Thursday who were in intensive care increased by one to 36 and the number of available hospital beds increased by four to 260.
