Novavax now! We need access to the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine! - Published Aug 25, 2024
đź“Ł Let PHAC and health ministers know you want timely access to the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine this fall
✉️ Send letters to PHAC and health ministers to voice your support for access to the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine this fall. Use our online tool to send emails.
Why take action? Concerns are mounting over reports that Canadians will not have access to the JN.1 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine this fall.
A lack of timely access to the Novavax vaccine in Canada would go against the advice of scientific experts, including the “Guidance on the use of COVID-19 vaccines during the fall of 2024” by Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI). In that guidance, NACI noted that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are not superior to the Novavax vaccine. It also noted that a lack of access to the Novavax vaccine — the only protein-based COVID-19 vaccine in Canada — could negatively affect COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
People across Canada, including many Canadians with disabilities and immunocompromised Canadians, rely on Novavax’s protein-based vaccine as it reduces the risk of adverse side effects to which they are disproportionately vulnerable. This includes people who have medical contraindications to the mRNA vaccines, for whom the Novavax vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine option.
Please take a moment to voice your support for continued access to Novavax vaccines in Canada!
