Needle-free vaccine delivery platform aims to end frozen storage needs and improve access

June 6, 2023; OSLO, Norway and OXFORD, UK: CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, and aVaxziPen Ltd, a biotech company developing a novel needle-free vaccine delivery platform, have today announced a partnership to advance the development of two vaccines candidates (one protein and one mRNA-based) using aVaxziPen’s solid dose vaccine-delivery platform, which could help end the need for frozen storage of vaccines, thereby improving equitable access to vaccines. CEPI will initially provide up to US$1.6 million to establish proof-of-concept for aVaxziPen’s vaccine-delivery technology by evaluating stability, delivery and preclinical immunogenicity of both mRNA and protein-based vaccines developed using aVaxziPen’s platform.
