Other research efforts at Health Guard include the development of a recombinant bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, a recombinant polyvalent norovirus vaccine, a recombinant RSV vaccine, a recombinant polyvalent hand-foot-mouth disease vaccine, and a recombinant zoster vaccine. The trivalent and nonavalent HPV vaccines are in phase III studies in female indication, which are among the first domestic candidates entering pivotal trials. Moreover, Health Guard is the first in China to have been granted clinical trial approval to initiate studies of the nonavalent HPV vaccine in males, and will commence phase III studies of the nonavalent HPV vaccine in male indication by the end of 2022. The 15-valent HPV vaccine co-developed by Health Guard and Chengda Bio is by far of the highest valency among the HPV vaccines that are commercially available or have been cleared to start clinical trials by global regulatory authorities.

Health Guard is on a mission to improve the public’s health by providing safe, effective and innovative vaccines.
