Singapore could be getting Novavax vaccines - a non-mRNA vaccine which has demonstrated high efficacy against the COVID-19 virus - before the end of the year.

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Thursday (Jun 24) that Singapore authorities had signed an advance purchase agreement with Novavax in January this year.

He said that the vaccine is still undergoing Phase 3 clinical trials, and Singapore is awaiting Novavax's application for regulatory approval while working closely with them.

Novavax has said that it is on track to file for emergency authorisation in the US and elsewhere in the third quarter of 2021.

"But we hope the vaccine supplies can arrive before the end of this year for those who want to take something that is non-mRNA," said Mr Ong at a COVID-19 multi-ministry task force press conference where he announced that the country will be ramping up its vaccination programme.

HIGH EFFICACY

The Novavax jab is about 90 per cent effective against COVID-19 across a variety of variants of the virus.

In Phase 3 trials in the UK earlier this year, it was 89.3 per cent effective at preventing COVID-19 and around 86 per cent effective at protecting against the Alpha variant from the UK.

It was 95.6 per cent effective against the original COVID-19 strain.

I'd consider this.

At least AstraZeneca is not using mRNA.

It uses a monkey adenovirus.
