Shares of Novavax on Monday dropped after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized for emergency use Moderna and Pfizer's updated Covid-19 vaccines.

At 15:21 pm E.T., Novavax shares were down 13%, at $7.80. The stock has dropped 22% since the year started, and 76% in the past 12 months.

The vaccine maker said doses of its updated Covid-19 vaccine have just arrived in the U.S. and are pending FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention action for distribution this fall.

"We are working closely with the FDA on its review of our Emergency Use Authorization application," Novavax's Chief Executive John Jacobs said.
