Th EU Commission may eventually expand its portfolio of COVID-19 jabs to protein-based vaccines, the EU executive’s President Ursula von der Leyen suggested on Friday.
“We will certainly add other potential vaccines, for example protein-based vaccines have also quite a potential,” von der Leyen said at a news briefing.
The vaccines currently being developed by Novavax (NVAX.O) and Sanofi/Glaxo-Smith-Kline (SASY.PA), (GSK.L) are examples of protein-based vaccines.
