The Food and Drug Administration’s advisory committee voted unanimously to recommend Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine for use in the U.S.

The FDA usually follows the committee’s recommendations, though it is not obligated to do so.

The agency could clear Novavax’s vaccine for distribution in the U.S. as soon as this week.

FDA officials and committee members raised concerns about a risk of heart inflammation with Novavax’s shot that are similar to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

From what I've read about it, like all vaccines there have been side effects but the rates are significantly lower than Pfizer or Moderna. If mandatory vaccination goes into effect, it may be a better alternative.
