He will make a decision only if all applications are submitted. “There is a movement to deny compulsory vaccination, there will definitely be a movement going in the direction of compulsory vaccination,” he said. “There may be a third use that works with the mandatory vaccine based on age.”

Now it’s about producing and providing adequate vaccination, Ramallo said. Then nothing will stand in the way of effective alternative vaccines.

Millions of people in Germany have not yet been vaccinated. This is due to distrust or uncertainty over previously approved drugs. The Novavox product is not an MRNA vaccine like the products of Biontech and Moderna, nor is it a vector vaccine like AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. Deadly vaccines such as novovax have long been used, for example against hepatitis A and B or the flu. Therefore, it is hoped that the classic vaccine technology will inspire more people to be vaccinated.
