The pill that moves the needle.

About us

For two hundred years vaccines have been administered by intramuscular injection. Vaxart’s oral vaccine pills may change everything. Our vaccine pills act differently, by attacking invading pathogens in the places where they first enter the body: the mucosal areas, including the mouth, the nose and the gut. They are designed to trigger strong IgA and T-cell responses to repel and overwhelm the invading viral invaders. Vaxart has begun Phase II trials of its oral vaccine for Covid and for Norovirus– the only company in the world to reach this stage with a COVID-19 vaccine pill.

  • Today Vaxart published a presentation detailing the strategic actions taken by the Board to advance the Company’s pipeline and drive shareholder value, highlighting the Board’s proven expertise. By contrast, the dissident nominees have no relevant clinical-stage biotech experience, offer no credible ideas for value creation, and are undermining the Board’s good-faith efforts to resolve the proxy contest. We strongly believe that replacing ANY of Vaxart’s highly qualified directors with the dissident candidates is not in shareholders’ best interests. Vote the WHITE proxy card today “FOR” ALL 6 of Vaxart’s highly qualified director nominees and WITHHOLD on the shareholder nominees. Learn more: vote.vaxart.com
