Just some observations.
If you mean the now comparatively long standing product, I did not take it although I did have the chance before being fired for not taking any of them.
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine is a protein subunit vaccine. It introduces a HARMLESS part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus—specifically, the spike protein—to the immune system. This allows the immune system to recognize the protein and produce a targeted response, preparing it to fight off the actual virus if exposed in the future. [My emphasis]
From quite early on people (eg. Dr Robert Malone) suspected that the spike protein was the most DANGEROUS and so HARMFUL part of the virus. Of course, the mRNA vaccines literally flood people's bodies with spike (far more than a natural infection would); hence all the (seemingly, at this point, millions of) vaccine related deaths. The medical evidence seems to suggest that the mRNA vaccines are, at the very least, more dangerous and, in all likelihood, much more dangerous than covid.
As others have noted, Novavax has had a more (in many ways 'the') conventional Covid-19 vaccine on the market for some time now, as much as its arrival was long delayed (esp. in the US).
The fact it was released in 2022 undermines any argument it was fast-tracked as it wasn't even an option until the case counts started going down and the beginning of the end of the pandemic.
Novavax was rushed like all the others, but, as a more traditional vaccine, it took longer than the others since the mRNA technology facilitates rapid development. Its phase three trials were better than the others, but that is still all there was. People seem to have forgotten, since we don't seem to test medical products for safety any more, that vaccines, prior to Covid, took 7-8 years to gain approval.
Also, perhaps not in Canada, but in Australia, they were still firing people on the basis of vaccine mandates after Novavax became available early in 2022.
Novavax isn't based on new technology, which was a concern for many regarding mRNA vaccines. So, I'm here to see if there are any specific objections to Novavax. It seems like most concerns now revolve around the fast approval process more than anything else.
Novavax does contain new technologies, such as the adjuvant and other technologies, although nothing on the scale of the mRNA vaccines. Some have thought some of the adverse events may be attributable to these.
Like the mRNA products, it has had problems with cardiac injuries (myocarditis), though presumably the risks are not as great as those products as the amount of spike involved is far less so such issues have come as a bit of a surprise. This has all been rendered rather unclear by the fact that the regulators have not been kind to them (presumably because, as a small company, they are hardly 'big' pharma and that seems to be what governs the treatment of one's products in these days of pervasive regulatory capture).
This thread is dedicated to find out whether or not those who decided not to take the mRNA COVID vax would consider novavax, which is using non-mRNA technology to CONFER IMMUNITY. [My emphasis]
None of the C-19 vaccines provide any immunity, since they are all based upon the spike of now extinct variants of the virus. Since Covid-19 has long been vaccine resistant, they actually confer NEGATIVE IMMUNITY (since at least Omicron and so before the Novavax product was even approved anywhere). This AED (antibody dependent enhancement) was well understood to be a risk (not that anyone was told about it, for instance here in Australia, where we at least used to have laws requiring, as a very MINIMUM, informed consent), from the outset. For instance it was mentioned in the FDA's initial provisional approval of the Pfizer vaccine and no vaccine against this type of virus has ever been successful (in SARS1, notoriously, the vaccine test animals all died due to AED).
On why a mass vaccination campaign was only going to create the ideal conditions for the evolution of a 'super' (that is, vaccine resistant) virus see Dr Geert vanden Bossche:
Mass infection prevention and mass vaccination with leaky Covid-19 vaccines in the midst of the pandemic can only breed highly infectious variants.

So why not just get infected by covid itself (presumably this has already happened by now), gain natural immunity and get on with one's life, as the world's leading academic medical scientists, who were of course censored for saying it, recommended very early on:
There is a huge literature on the superiority of natural to vaccinal immunity:

Vaccination just misleads your immune response (with an extinct version of the spike), making you an increasingly soft target and so inevitably just an incubator for the further evolution of the virus.
You said you work in a medical role, which may obviously mean some sort of vaccine mandate. If so, I do not envy your decision.
