Valneva ( (VALN) ) has shared an announcement.
Valneva SE announced that the European Commission has granted marketing authorization for its chikungunya vaccine, IXCHIQ®, for adolescents aged 12 and above in the EU, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland. This approval, dated April 1, 2025, marks a significant milestone in expanding access to the vaccine, which is already approved for adults in the EU, U.S., Canada, and the U.K. The vaccine addresses a significant unmet medical need as chikungunya continues to spread globally, with outbreaks in regions such as India, Brazil, and La Réunion. The EC’s approval is supported by positive Phase 3 data showing a strong immune response in adolescents, and Valneva is focused on further expanding the vaccine’s access, including efforts to provide it at an affordable price in low- and middle-income countries.
