Shares of Novavax (NVAX, Financial) experienced a significant decline, dropping more than 19% to $10.16. This downturn followed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision to suspend Novavax's planned clinical trial for a flu vaccine. The suspension was instigated by an adverse event reported in a participant of a separate Phase 2 trial, who suffered from a severe motor neuropathy incident.
