What is Vaxxas?
Vaxxas is pioneering a proprietary high-density microarray patch (HD-MAP) for needle-free vaccine delivery. This innovative platform has demonstrated safety and efficacy in over 750 participants across multiple clinical trials, showing robust immune responses. The HD-MAP technology is versatile, capable of delivering various vaccine modalities, including live attenuated, protein subunit, and mRNA vaccines. By targeting immune cells directly beneath the skin, Vaxxas's approach aims to enhance protection with reduced vaccine doses, lower cold-chain requirements, and enable easier self-administration. This positions the company to significantly impact the global vaccine market by improving accessibility and reducing costs.
