COVID-19 Vaccine Development

The Vaccine Candidate is based on unique and patent protected signal peptide technology, utilizing Vaxil’s proprietary VaxHit™ bioinformatics platform. The Vaccine Candidate is also based on successful in vivo experiments testing a tuberculosis signal peptide vaccine.
We are now pleased to announce that we have non-GMP vaccine material in hand and have begun to execute our preclinical program to test the efficacy of our COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
