Bavarian Nordic A/S announced this week the initiation of full commercial operations in the U.S. only eight months after completing the acquisition of the manufacturing and global rights to Rabipur®/RabAvert® (Rabies Vaccine) and Encepur® (Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine) from GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK).
This ensures complete distribution and marketing of RabAvert in the U.S., a major milestone in the commercial transformation at Bavarian Nordic, advancing the company’s robust infectious disease and vaccines franchise.
Every 10 minutes a person in the U.S. starts post-exposure rabies vaccinations after a suspicious animal bite. Left untreated, rabies is almost always fatal. RabAvert is a sterile, freeze-dried rabies vaccine for both pre-exposure and post-exposure vaccination in all age groups.
