Public Health Agency of Canada does not order Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine due to low demand.

The Public Health Agency of Canada will not order Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid, this respiratory season due to low demand. The manufacturer requires a minimum order that surpasses last year's uptake, where only 5,529 of 125,000 doses were administered. This decision aims to minimize vaccine wastage. Both Novavax's and Pfizer’s vaccines have been reformulated to target the Omicron KP.2 subvariant.
