PENNSYLVANIA, USA — There is a new COVID-19 vaccine available on the market, and it looks a little different than its predecessors.

The newly-FDA-authorized Novavax vaccine uses traditional virus-blocking technology that has been used against other diseases for decades, such as Hepatitis B and tetanus.

Unlike the other COVID-19 vaccines, Novavax injects the spike protein directly into the body, rather than using mRNA technology.
