This is the one!  The one we've been waiting for since the other two and J&J hit the market!


Another COVID-19 vaccine seems closer to becoming available in the United States

But this is an entirely different kind of vaccine made by this company called Novavax. Let me explain. The two main vaccines used in this country are the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna vaccines. Those are called mRNA vaccines because they inject a type of genetic code known as messenger RNA into the body. The genetic code carries instructions for cells to manufacture a key protein from the virus inside the body, and that triggers the immune system to mount a protective response.


This new vaccine uses a more traditional strategy, a strategy that's been used for decades to make other vaccines.

I have not been vaccinated at all. I have seen too many people die from COVID after they have been fully vaccinated. I am so afraid of taking the vaccine.
