New vaccine anti-Covid set to arrive in the Principality soon

With the Nuvaxovid® vaccine from the NOVAVAX laboratory set to arrive in the Principality soon, the Prince’s Government would like to invite those who wish to receive it to contact the COVID-19 Call Centre on 92.05.55.00. The Centre is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and can also be reached via the website.

Nuvaxovid® is a subunit vaccine, based on proteins which induce an immune response. Please note that the initial vaccination course for this vaccine requires the administration of two doses, spaced three weeks apart.

It should also be noted that the vaccine is currently only authorised for people aged 18 years and over, who have not been vaccinated before or have only received one dose of any vaccine, with the exception of the Janssen vaccine. It cannot therefore be given as a booster or third dose.
