Novavax was approved for use in Canada in March. There is a small amount now available at a few locations in all provinces. From todays National Post:
As of Apr.14, there have been 72,000 doses distributed in Canada. Every province and territory has received some except for Nunavut.
The current allocation of Novavax in Canada as of Apr. 14 is:
Ontario: 30,000
Manitoba: 10,300
Alberta: 10,000
Quebec: 7,500
British Columbia: 6,600
Saskatchewan: 4,200
Northwest Territories: 1,100
Nova Scotia: 1,000
New Brunswick: 500
Prince Edward Island: 400
Newfoundland and Labrador: 200
Yukon: 100
Federal Allocation (doses for PHAC, the Canadian Armed Forces, Correctional Service Canada, and Global Affairs Canada): 100
It has similar effectiveness and risks as other vaccines and you can see this on the Health Canada approval: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/covid19-industry/drugs-vaccines-treatments/vaccines/novavax.html
Novavax is the 7th Covid vaccine approved in Canada, the first protein subunit type, and approved for use in 37 countries now. It is a 2 shot, 21 day apart.Last edited by dmlfarmer; Apr 20, 2022, 16:06.

And I quickly checked the database for covid 19 vaccine trials and found Covac-2, the UofS candidate is still in phase 2 trials as of today. There are 5 ongoing phase 1 and 2 trials ongoing, totalling 752 people. It is only being tested in Canada and there are no phase 3 trials yet so it is a long way off at this time.

A second UofS vaccine Covac-1 started its first phase 1 testing in Brazil last month in 48 healthy people for safety testing and if all goes well completion of testing and reports scheduled for October 2023 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05155982Last edited by dmlfarmer; Apr 20, 2022, 17:11.
