They claim to have the classic vaccine.
VLA2001 consists of inactivated whole virus particles of SARS-CoV-2 with high S-protein density, in combination with two adjuvants, alum and CpG 1018. This adjuvant combination has consistently induced higher antibody levels in preclinical experiments than alum-only formulations and shown a shift of the immune response towards Th1
What’s the deal with their love for the S protein, usually viruses contain equal parts of the virus fragments.
The manufacturing process for VLA2001, which has already been upscaled to final industrial scale, includes chemical inactivation to preserve the native structure of the S-protein. VLA2001 is expected to conform with standard cold chain requirements (2 degrees to 8 degrees Celsius).
Why 2 degrees if it’s inactived? How many other vaccines need to be stored at 2 degrees.
Pass. It’s probably inactived until room temperature
