Gaithersburg: Novavax, Inc., a global company advancing protein-based vaccines with its Matrix-M adjuvant, has announced that the European Commission has granted Marketing Authorization for Novavax's updated 2024-2025 Nuvaxovid COVID-19 Vaccine (recombinant, adjuvanted) (NVX-CoV2705), dispersion for injection, for use in individuals aged 12 and older for the prevention of COVID-19 in the European Union (EU).
