Australia’s Vaxxas has initiated a Phase I clinical trial with the first needle-free inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine quadrivalent (IIV4) candidate.
Biotech company, Vaxxas, has secured a partnership agreement with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to advance the development of its needle-free vaccine-patch delivery technology for mRNA vaccines.
Vaxxas will receive an AU$8.2m second round grant to support the manufacturing scale-up of its technology that enables vaccines to be applied to the skin using a small patch.
