Durable, Cross-reactive, and Mucosal Immunity
Our vaccine triggers both mucosal and systemic immune responses that are long-lasting and cross-reactive within virus families. The mucosal immune responses are both local to the intestinal delivery site and distal, potentially providing protection across multiple mucosal surfaces, including the nose, the mouth, and the intestines. Potent vaccine-induced antibodies were even induced in breast milk…

Convenient Oral Administration
Vaxart’s oral pill vaccine is designed for convenient, self-administration, eliminating the need for needles. Our oral pill vaccine could help overcome needle-related hesitancy and could reduce healthcare infrastructure traditionally needed to administer needle-based vaccines, thereby offering the promise to improve accessibility and public health.

State-of-the-art Recombinant Technology
Our oral pill vaccines eliminate injection site reactions, potentially leading to improved tolerability. Unlike some traditional immunizations, our vaccines do not contain live, replicating virus or animal products, which means they could offer an alternative to a broader range of individuals, including immunocompromised populations.
-
Thermostable
Vaxart’s oral pill vaccines are designed to maintain their efficacy without the need for refrigeration, unlike many injectable vaccines that require complex, cold chain storage. This increased stability can make distribution easier and more cost-effective, especially in areas with limited infrastructure.
-
Rapid Development
Our modular, scalable, and standardized approach to vaccine development supports the rapid development of various vaccines against established targets as well as against new and emerging pathogens.
-
Global Accessibility
A thermostable oral pill vaccine offers the potential for self-administration, empowering patients to manage their own immunizations. This easy-to-administer dosage form could significantly reduce healthcare costs, improve accessibility, and enhance distribution, particularly in remote or underserved areas.
