Finally on October 19, 2021, Politico published an article entitled “‘They rushed the process’: The suffering of vaccine manufacturers is hampering the global vaccination campaign”. Politico’s article reported in the relevant part that Novavax faces “significant hurdles to prove that it can produce a shot that meets regulatory quality standards” with regard to NVX-CoV2373.
