Daily Poll: Novavax applies to WHO for emergency listing of COVID-19 vaccine.

Shares of $Novavax(NVAX.US)$ were jumping 9.7% on Thursday.

$Novavax(NVAX.US)$ and its partner Serum Institute of India have applied to the World Health Organization for an emergency use listing of Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine.
Novavax has been prioritizing regulatory submissions to low- and middle-income countries after falling behind in the race for authorization in the United States and Europe, which have already vaccinated most of their residents.
The attention to the vaccine stocks has been decreasing in recent days. Maybe the positive news for Novavax can motivate some investors to pile back into the vaccine stock. Some of their strong performance since the outbreak of COVID-19 may draw your attention.

Let's take a look:
NVAX
Pfizer
Moderna
BioNTech

Most of them are seeing some pretty hefty gains, $Moderna(MRNA.US)$ even increased more than 1,400%. Some investors see their potential and achieved "financial freedom" lol.

BTW even though you don't want to put your bets in the sector, you may already have more exposure to the vaccine industry than you realize, in diluted form. In the U.S., $Moderna(MRNA.US)$ was added to the $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ in July, and $Johnson & Johnson(JNJ.US)$ and $Pfizer(PFE.US)$ are among the top 25 stocks in the index. That means they’re included in many index funds, ETFs and retirement investments.

Is the news going to be a boost to the whole vaccine sector? What are your thoughts about vaccine stocks? Vote and comment to tell all the mooers!
