“We see global demand growing among beef and dairy producers for new vaccines that can be safely and easily administered,” said Juan Ramon Alaix, president, Pfizer Animal Health.  “Pfizer looks forward to developing cattle vaccines incorporating Immunovaccine technology that will contribute to meeting this demand,” Alaix said. Pfizer Animal Health is currently also licensing other Immunovaccine technology for the development of particular livestock vaccines.       

Compared to conventional vaccines, the strength of Immunovaccine’s platform lies in its ability to reduce the number of required doses and to significantly enhance antibody onset and duration. The power and versatility of Immunovaccine’s technology to combine with a variety of antigens and to induce both humoral and cellular immune responses make it the vaccine delivery system of choice for Immunovaccine's current and potential biotechnology partners.
