Following Tuesday’s U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) endorsement of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted (NVX-CoV2373) as a two-dose primary series in individuals 18 years of age and older, Novavax is pleased to announce that doses have shipped from its warehouse and have been received by the U.S. government’s designated distribution centers today.

The CDC will now allocate doses to the states – including state and local distribution centers, federal pharmacy partners, and federally-qualified health centers – and they will have the ability to order doses starting on Monday, July 25. Doses are expected to be available to consumers for vaccinations shortly thereafter.

Novavax is committed to making the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine option available to the U.S. population and will be working closely with the U.S. Government to ensure consumers have access.
