Novavax Inc's head of research and development on Monday said an updated COVID-19 vaccine the company is already producing is likely to be protective against other fast-growing coronavirus variants circulating in the U.S.

Novavax R&D chief Filip Dubovsky in an interview made the case for the XBB.1.5-targeting vaccine, saying it was a good approach that should also provide protection against related variants on the rise, such as XBB.2.3.
