The World Health Organization on Tuesday approved a COVID-19 vaccine made by US pharma giant Novavax for emergency use, after the European Union medicines regulator gave it the green light.

It is made from a more conventional technology than others already approved, which has led officials in Brussels to express hope that this will help persuade those hesitant about vaccination to come forward.

It is a tried and tested approach, used for decades to vaccinate people against diseases including hepatitis B and whooping cough. It also opens the door for them to enter the COVAX global vaccine-sharing scheme, set up to provide equitable access to doses around the world and particularly in poorer countries.Among those already approved is the Covovax shot, a version of Novavax's vaccine made by the Serum Institute of India under license from the US-based company.
