Early stage clinical trial results show the Covid-19 vaccine candidate made by Novavax is safe and elicits an immune response, according to a studyin The New England Journal of Medicine. The results had previously been announced by the company in early August.
In a phase Phase 1 trial, doctors mostly watch to see if the vaccine is safe, but they also check to see if it produced a response. After the second vaccination, most people didn't have any problems, or they were mild. One person had tenderness after the second shot and eight had joint pain and fatigue.
The vaccine also seemed to generate T-cells, the type of immune cells that also help protect the body from infection, in the 16 volunteers who were randomly selected and tested for T-cell response. There are limits to what this trial can determine about the vaccine. It's a small number of patients and there were few Black and Latinx volunteers in the trial. The patients were also in good health.
