After the guidelines were adjusted, GlaxoSmithKline’s RSV vaccine sales plummeted by 74%

Star vaccine products suffered a Waterloo. Last year, the RSV vaccine was amazing; this year, it fell back quickly. Recently, GlaxoSmithKline released its financial report, and its RSV vaccine Arexvy’s sales in the third quarter fell 74% year-on-year, with sales of 188 million pounds, equivalent to 240 million US dollars. So, what caused the decline of Arexvy? According to GlaxoSmithKline, Arexvy suffered a triple blow. The core is that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has narrowed the scope of immunization recommendations. Previously, RSV vaccines were recommended for vaccination for people over 60 years old. In June of this year, the US CDC adjusted its recommendations for vaccination populations. After the adjustment, the scope was greatly narrowed, limited to: 1. Adults aged 75 and above. 2. High-risk groups aged 60-74. In addition, the US CDC recommends that it be used only as a single lifetime vaccination. In ...

Innovax Biological Reports 94% Decline in Q3 Net Profit Amid Continued Impact of Expanded Age Range for Nine-Valent HPV Vaccine

Innovax Biological announced that its operating revenue for the first three quarters reached 1.948 billion yuan, a year-on-year decline of 60.79%. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company for the same period was 267 million yuan, down 85.25% compared to last year. In the third quarter alone, the company generated revenue of 582 million yuan, down 27.72%, and reported a net profit of 6.1686 million yuan, a staggering decline of 94.18%. The company attributed the decline in performance to several market adjustments during the reporting period, including government-led centralized procurement and the extended age range for the nine-valent HPV vaccine, which have collectively led to reduced sales revenue and profits compared to the same period last year. At the market opening today, Innovax Biological’s stock price fell over 2%. In August 2022, Merck China announced an expansion of the target age group for its nine-valent HPV vaccine ...

Sufficient Supply of Influenza Vaccines in Shandong; Elderly Vaccination Rate at 54.57%

On October 22, the Shandong Provincial Government Information Office held a press conference to introduce the province’s efforts in enhancing the integration of healthcare and elderly care, as well as promoting healthy aging. It was reported that Shandong currently has a sufficient supply of influenza vaccines, having completed 2.67 million doses of vaccinations, with elderly individuals accounting for 54.57% of those vaccinated. As the weather turns colder, infectious diseases such as influenza and pneumonia enter their peak season, and the elderly are a major susceptible group. It was noted that over 3,200 medical institutions in Shandong have activated a real-time monitoring and reporting network for infectious diseases, focusing particularly on the incidence of diseases among the elderly and other key populations. Vaccination against influenza and pneumonia not only reduces infection risks but also effectively lowers the incidence of severe cases, making it one of the primary measures for the prevention ...

90%! Pfizer’s RSV vaccine has significant efficacy in treating severe respiratory diseases

The new data released on Thursday at IDWeek provides a clearer picture of Abrysvo’s performance in preventing severe illness and hospitalization. The results came from Kaiser Permanente in Southern California, although the trial was funded by Pfizer and included co authors from Pfizer. This retrospective study observed patients aged 60 and above who were hospitalized or visited the emergency room due to severe acute respiratory disease. In this group, the effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing the most severe respiratory cases was 90%, with only one positive case found among patients who received the Abrysvo vaccine. The confidence interval is wide, ranging from 24% to 99% in preliminary analysis. Although the results were not significantly different from those shown by the company in previous trials, this study is the first to review individuals with compromised immune function as they were not included in the Phase 3 study.

Pneumonia Vaccine Price War Erupted

A price war has erupted for pneumonia vaccines, with pharmaceutical companies attempting to exchange lower prices for market share.

WHO approves first mpox vaccine to boost access in Africa

The MVA-BN vaccine from the Danish pharmaceutical company Bavarian Nordic was prequalified by the WHO on Friday and has already been approved in Europe and the United States, for use by adults. WHO approval will accelerate access for millions, to reduce transmission and help contain the outbreak. WHO’s Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the prequalification of this vaccine is an important step in the fight against the mpox virus in Africa and for the future. “We now need urgent scale up in procurement, donations and rollout to ensure equitable access to vaccines where they are needed most, alongside other public health tools, to prevent infections, stop transmission and save lives,” Mr. Ghebreyesus said. The MVA-BN vaccine can be given in two doses to people 18 years and older, four weeks apart, which has an estimated 82 per cent effectiveness.
