Novavax XFG-adapted Nuvaxovid™ Approvals in the U.S., EU and Japan for 2026-2027

 

• COVID-19 remains a public health challenge, particularly among older adults and high-risk populations1
• Novavax's partners are ready to bring its protein-based, non-mRNA vaccine with a favorable tolerability profile to global markets, providing an important option for healthcare providers and patients

Novavax, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: NVAX) partners have received approvals for the Nuvaxovid™ formulation to target the SARS-CoV-2 XFG variant for the 2026-2027 vaccination season in major markets including the U.S., European Union (EU) and Japan. These approvals position Novavax to continue earning royalties on net sales in these markets this season.

"We believe our partners Sanofi and Takeda are well-positioned for this commercial season. Sanofi has an expanded U.S. marketing campaign and launches in additional international markets, and under Takeda's leadership, Nuvaxovid® has become the second-leading COVID-19 vaccine in one of the world's largest healthcare markets," said John C. Jacobs, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. "With these approvals, Novavax is eligible for continued royalties on partner sales without carrying commercial infrastructure of our own, a testament to the value creation of our business model."
