Replenishment of the bulk inventory is necessary to fulfil the Company’s existing contract to supply a next-generation, freeze-dried version of the vaccine for U.S. smallpox preparedness. Further, this contract will support the manufacturing of 1 million freeze-dried vaccines, using parts of the bulk inventory.\nWhile the vaccine bulk is planned to be manufactured next year with consideration for international orders needed to support the response to the ongoing mpox outbreak, the deliveries of the freeze-dried doses will occur in 2026.\nPaul Chaplin, President & CEO of Bavarian Nordic, said: “As a long-standing partner with the U.S. government, we applaud their strong leadership in securing the long-term availability of vaccines for public preparedness. This award further strengthens the orders for the public preparedness business for 2025 and beyond and is yet another resounding endorsement of MVA-BN as the leading smallpox/mpox vaccine. While the current mpox outbreak is a reminder of how vulnerable the international community remains to infectious diseases, we are dedicated to assist all governments and organizations, not only in the current public health emergency, but beyond to ensure the equitable access to our smallpox/mpox vaccine.”\nAbout our vaccine contracts with the U.S. governmentSince 2003, Bavarian Nordic has worked with the U.S. government on the development, manufacturing and supply of a non-replicating smallpox vaccine to ensure all populations can be protected from smallpox and mpox, including people with weakened immune systems who are at high risk of adverse reactions to traditional smallpox vaccines, which are based on replicating vaccinia virus strains. The vaccine was approved by the FDA in 2019 under the trade name JYNNEOS®, indicated for the prevention of both smallpox and mpox infection.\nPrior to approval, Bavarian Nordic had supplied nearly 30 million doses to the U.S., with the vast majority being delivered for emergency use - and now expired.\nBARDA has supported the development of a new freeze-dried version of the vaccine with a longer shelf-life to replace the stockpile and in 2017 awarded the company a ten-year contract for supply of freeze-dried vaccines. Under this contract Bavarian Nordic had previously manufactured bulk vaccine, corresponding to approximately 13 million freeze-dried doses, pending filling and supply. The production of freeze-dried doses is covered by a USD 299 million option, with the first part of this option being awarded in 2022 (USD 119 million). However, the request from BARDA in 2022 to supply the liquid-frozen version of the vaccine to mitigate the mpox outbreak reduced the inventory of bulk, thus calling for a replenishment to enable Bavarian Nordic to fulfill its contract for the freeze-dried version. The first bulk replenishment contract was awarded in 2023, with additional contracts following in 2024.\nThis project has been supported in part with federal funds from HHS; ASPR; BARDA, under contract HHSO100201700019C.\nAbout the mpox/smallpox vaccineMVA-BN or Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic is the only non-replicating mpox vaccine approved in the U.S., Switzerland, Singapore and Mexico (marketed as JYNNEOS®), Canada (marketed as IMVAMUNE®), and the EU/EAA and United Kingdom (marketed as IMVANEX®). Originally developed as a smallpox vaccine in collaboration with the U.S. government to ensure the supply of a smallpox vaccine for the entire population, including immunocompromised individuals who are not recommended vaccination with traditional replicating smallpox vaccines, MVA-BN has been indicated for use in the general adult population in individuals considered at risk for smallpox or mpox infection. In the EU/EAA, the vaccine has also been approved for adolescents 12-17 years of age.\nBavarian Nordic has been a long-term supplier of the vaccine to a number of nations, and during the 2022-2023 mpox outbreak, the Company supported governments and supranational organizations by expanding access to the vaccine to more than 70 countries worldwide.\nAbout Bavarian NordicBavarian Nordic is a fully integrated vaccine company with a mission to protect and save lives through innovative vaccines. We are a global leader in smallpox and mpox vaccines, supplied to governments to enhance public health preparedness and have a strong portfolio of vaccines for travelers and endemic diseases.
