Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:NVAX) is moving forward with a vaccine for Ebola, which "is a free wild card," McCamant said. The company has a number of arrows in its quiver, including vaccines that target seasonal and pandemic flu and respiratory virus syndrome, which can be devastating for infants and the elderly. The company's VLP technology puts it ahead of the competition, enabling the company to develop a "functional vaccine" within 30 days of receipt of the virus' sequence.
With regard to the Ebola vaccine, McCamant noted that Novavax's product, currently in Phase 1, is the "best for multiple protection" from both the current strain and previous strain. The benefits of the Novavax vaccine are multiple, given that, with its platform technology, the company can potentially produce "millions of doses in a matter of months," and that those vaccines won't need to be frozen, like current vaccines, but require only refrigeration, much easier to accommodate in Africa.
