Vaxart's oral vaccine shows 100% protection against lethal H5N1 avian flu in ferrets.

Vaxart announced that its second-generation oral mucosal vaccine candidate, VXA-H5-02, demonstrated 100% protection against a lethal dose of H5N1 avian flu in a ferret model. The vaccine induced strong immune responses, significantly reduced viral load, and prevented death in all vaccinated ferrets, while unvaccinated ones died within six days. This oral vaccine, delivered via tablet, offers advantages like ease of administration and no cold storage, highlighting its potential for influenza prevention and pandemic preparedness. Vaxart plans further development and clinical trials to confirm these promising preclinical results in humans.

The Vaxart vaccine study is the subject, with Pluang's health sector data providing context. Of 128 health-sector US stocks priced on Pluang, 29 advanced and 91 declined today. MMED traded at USD 19.11 with a 2.70% decrease, HRTX at USD 0.38 with a 2.56% drop and a typical hold time of 35 days, and WGS at USD 67.00 down 2.23%, as of Oct 08, 2026 18:43 WIB.
