Story Highlights
Valneva Gains EMA Support for Chikungunya Vaccine Extension

Valneva ( (VALN) ) has shared an announcement.

On February 28, 2025, Valneva SE announced that the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a positive opinion recommending the authorization of a label extension for their chikungunya vaccine, IXCHIQ®, to include adolescents aged 12 and older. This recommendation, based on positive Phase 3 data showing strong immune responses in adolescents, marks a significant step towards broader accessibility of the vaccine in the EU and potentially other regions. The expansion aligns with Valneva’s strategy to increase vaccine access globally, including partnerships to supply the vaccine in low- and middle-income countries.
