Novavax vaccines will begin to be rolled out in Australia from Febuary 21, Health Minister Greg Hunt says.

Mr Hunt said the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation had green-lit the new COVID-19 vaccine, the fourth available in the country.

Novavax will be a two-dose course with a minimum three-week gap between first and second doses.
