VBI Vaccines launches of first ever 3-antigen hep B vaccine PreHevbrio in USA

30 March 2022

VBI Vaccines (Nasdaq: VBIV) shares were up 10.4% at $1.75 by midday on Tuesday, after it announced commercial availability of PreHevbrio, the only Food and Drug Administration-approved 3-antigen hepatitis B virus vaccine for adults.

PreHevbrio is the only vaccine that mimics all three surface antigens of the hepatitis B virus, and was proven to provide adults with significantly higher seroprotection than a monovalent vaccine in a head-to-head Phase III clinical trial. l

The launch of PreHevbrio comes on the heels of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) February 2022 meeting, when PreHevbrio was added to the list of recommended products for adult vaccination against HBV infection. PreHevbrio received FDA approval on November 30, 2021.
