Novavax vaccine protects against COVID–19. Vaccination means that if you become infected you're far less likely to become seriously ill, need to go to hospital or spread the virus to others.
The vaccine stimulates your body’s immune system to produce antibodies to help fight the virus that causes COVID-19. None of the ingredients in this vaccine can cause COVID-19.
