*In a 2024 US survey, nearly half of participants stated they were not planning on getting an updated COVID-19 booster, of whom 56% cited concerns about side effects.2
The majority of adverse events in clinical trials were Grade 1 or 2 and did not prevent daily activities. In clinical trials, most common side effects were mild to moderate and of short duration.1
Primary endpoint of efficacy against symptomatic lab–confirmed COVID-19 occurring at least 7 days after the second dose (95% CI: 82.5, 93.8; P<0.001).1,5
§Secondary endpoint of efficacy in preventing moderate-to-severe disease from then-circulating strains of virus. NUVAXOVID may not protect all vaccine recipients (95% CI: 87.0, 100.0).1,5
