As the Virus Continues, the Global Covid-19 Vaccine Market Expected to Reach $25 Billion By 2024

Palm Beach, FL – September 23, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – The growth in the COVID-19 vaccine market is projected to continue to surge through 2024. This growth is attributable to drastic surge in coronavirus cases across the world, in consort with combined efforts by regional governments and international organizations to support vaccine development as well as setup more of vaccination facilities. The growing government support for vaccine development and the increasing involvement of global organizations in the development of adequate vaccination facilities in endemic regions is anticipated to positively influence the sales of coronavirus vaccine in the upcoming years. Moreover, the strong demand for coronavirus vaccine, the ongoing initiative initiatives by governments to procure the vaccine and the waves of infection are likely to drive the market growth during the forecast period.  According to a report from Market Study Report said that Global Covid-19 vaccine Market will be valued at approximately USD 25 billion in the year 2024, while growing rapidly throughout.  The report said: “Under the Patient Type segment, Covid-19 market for senior citizens is anticipated to witness the largest market share owing to the focus of the governments to vaccinate the vulnerable population, manufacturing of vaccines being outsourced and also manufacturers collaborating with hospitals and doctors to better understand their demand and meet their requirements will be pushing growth in the market for Covid-19 vaccine during the coming years.  Active biotech companies in the market this week include BioVaxys Technology Corp. (OTCQB: BVAXF) (CSE: BIOV), Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX), INOVIO (NASDAQ: INO), Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVAX), Vaxart, Inc. (NASDAQ: VXRT).

 

Market Study Report continued: “Hospitals, followed by Clinics, Vaccination centers and Academic and research Institute will attain substantial market share as healthcare authorities and governments are trying their best to vaccinate the population to further avoid spread of coronavirus disease.  According to industry experts, North America is anticipated to lead global Covid-19 vaccine market forecast over the study period, with Europe and Asia Pacific following the conduct. Coronavirus cases are at surge with second and third wave as well as due to virus mutation. Efforts by global manufacturers to ramp up vaccine production will sway the business dynamics forward.”

 

BioVaxys Technology Corp. (OTCQB: BVAXF) (CSE: BIOV.CNQ) BREAKING NEWS:  BIOVAXYS PREPARES FOR GROUND-BREAKING STUDY ON REDUCED ACE2 BINDING CAPABILITIES OF HAPTEN-MODIFIED SARS-COV-2 PROTEINS – BioVaxys Technology Corp. (“BioVaxys”) announced today that it has initiated what could be a scientifically groundbreaking study on the reduced ACE2 binding capabilities of the hapten-modified spike protein that is the foundation of BVX-0320, the Company’s SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

 

Many SARS-CoV-2-infected patients develop pneumonia that may lead to acute respiratory distress, with some patients developing cardiac symptoms and cardiovascular injury.

 

In their peer-reviewed research paper “SARS-CoV-2 binds platelet ACE2 to enhance thrombosis in COVID-19,” published in the Journal of Hematological Oncology, S. Zhang et.al. conclude that the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to the ACE2 receptor and that this binding of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE2 prevents the enzyme from converting angiotensin II, potentiating pulmonary and cardiovascular issues.  Currently available vaccines, whether comprise either recombinant full-length or partial Spike protein can result in rare, but life-threatening side effects, such as abnormal blood clotting or myocarditis. These toxicities may be caused by unwanted binding of the vaccine spike protein to ACE2 receptors in the heart or platelet factor 4. The Biovaxys vaccine for Covid-19, BVX-0320, comprises a portion of the spike protein that is modified by the hapten, dinitrophenyl (DNP).  Biovaxys believes that the haptenized spike protein has much diminished ability to bind to ACE2, which would result in much diminished vaccine toxicity.

 

David Berd, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Biovaxys, explained that “Biovaxys will compare the binding of haptenized spike protein with the non-haptenized. The results could provide evidence that our vaccine has lowered potential for some of the observed serious vaccine side effects.”

 

James Passin, BioVaxys CEO, stated, “Haptenization, as a method to inhibit the ACE2-binding ability of the s-spike protein, while increasing its immunogenicity, may prove to play a critical role in global Covid-19 vaccine development and deployment strategies, as public health authorities consider options for repeated seasonal vaccine boosters in the context of reported, albeit rare, adverse effects and apparent waning immunity.”

 

This week BioVaxys entered into an agreement with Millipore-Sigma (“Millipore”) a global Contract Development and Manufacturing Research Organization (“CDMO”), to manufacture a supply of GLP-grade BVX-0320, the Company’s SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate for the study.  Millipore produced similar yields of BVX-0320 last summer for the Company’s animal immune response studies, but will now be incorporating in the manufacturing the recently produced purified recombinant s-protein produced by BioVaxys bioproduction partner, WuXi Biologics. Millipore is a subsidiary of Merck KGaA (Deutsche Bourse: MRCG), one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, with a market capitalization of US$102 billion.  BioVaxys is currently finalizing arrangements with a major US academic research institution who will be collaborating with the Company on the study.   CONTINUED...
