By City News Service | news@socalnews.com |
PUBLISHED: August 25, 2022 at 4:15 p.m. | UPDATED: August 25, 2022 at 9:50 p.m.

With the recent blessing of federal regulators, Los Angeles County is expanding
the availability of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine to everyone aged 12 and over,
the public health officer said on Thursday, Aug. 25.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved an emergency use authorization
last week for use of the vaccine in people aged 12-17, and the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention signed off this week. The vaccine had previously
been restricted to people aged 18 and over.

Health officials have expressed hope that the Novavax vaccine would be more
widely accepted by vaccine-hesitant residents, since it is based on more
traditional protein-based technology used in other medications for decades —
rather than the mRNA process employed by the Pfizer and Moderna COVID shots.

Los Angeles County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said the county is making the
shots available to people 12 and over. Officials in Long Beach —which has its
own health department — also said they were immediately beginning to offer the
Novavax to the expanded age group.



“This expansion will help keep our children safe — especially as families
prepare to return to school,” Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said in a
statement. “We urge everyone to get vaccinated and protected if they haven’t
already.”

Novavax is also a two-shot regimen, with the doses administered three to eight
weeks apart, Davis said. Booster shots are not currently recommended for those
who receive the Novavax vaccine, but Davis said that could change.

Los Angeles County reported 3,042 new COVID infections on Thursday, along with
18 new virus-related fatalities.

Meanwhile the number of COVID-positive patients in county hospitals dropped
dramatically, with state figures putting the number at 802, down from 924 on
Wednesday. Of those patients, 124 were being treated in intensive care, up from
104 a day earlier.

County officials have said that roughly 43% of the COVID-positive patients were
actually admitted for virus-related illness, while the others were admitted for
other reasons, with some only learning they were infected when they were tested
at the hospital.



Despite the big drop in COVID patient numbers, Davis said the county in recent
days has actually seen a slight uptick in the rate of virus-impacted patients
being admitted to hospitals. In fact, the average daily rate rose to 9.6 per
100,000 residents — nearly pushing the county back in the CDC’s “high” virus
activity level. The county was previously in the “high” category, but moved back
to “medium” three weeks ago when the hospitalization rate fell below 10 per
100,000 residents.

The rate last week was 8.9 per 100,000 residents. Davis said that given the
steady downward trend in COVID infection rates, health officials are hoping the
recent uptick in hospitalization rates is a temporary anomaly that will quickly
reverse.

   The new COVID vaccine booster is coming. Should you get it?

The 3,042 new COVID infections confirmed Thursday lifted the county’s overall
total from throughout the pandemic to 3,392,984. The county-reported case
figures are believed to under-count the actual number of infections, since many
people now rely on at-home tests, the results of which are often not relayed to
county health officials.

The 18 new virus-related fatalities increased the county’s overall death toll to
33,076.

The average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus was 9.4% as of
Thursday, roughly the same as the previous day.
