Show Notes

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has approved the Novavax vaccine for use in people aged 18 or over, becoming the fourth brand of COVID-19 jab that is being deployed in Australia to fight the ongoing pandemic.

But why do we need another vaccine, how does it differ to the ones we already have, and why are some people saying it could convince anti-vaxxers to finally get inoculated?

The Quicky speaks to an expert in immunology to answer these questions and find out everything you need you know about Novavax.
