BioNtech has dosed the first patient with its BNT163 herpes vaccine candidate designed to prevent genital lesions as part of a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical research study, the German vaccine maker said on Wednesday.

The vaccine candidate is meant to prevent HSV-2, the herpes simplex virus that causes genital herpes, and potentially HSV-1, which causes oral herpes and can lead to genital herpes.

It is the first result of the research collaboration established in 2018 between the University of Pennsylvania and BioNtech aimed at developing novel mRNA vaccine candidates for the prevention and treatment of various infectious diseases.

The Mainz-based firm said in a separate news release that it is advancing two mRNA vaccine candidates for malaria and tuberculosis, which it expects to enter first-in-human trials in late 2022 or early 2023.

  1. how much do we know about the new technique presently referred to as mRNA, where are the publicly published research studies? how does mRNA work, what’s in the injection? do they come with a package insert and what does it say?

    1. Some of your questions may be answered by reading Dr. John Campbell. He is on YOU TUBE. He is patient with his talk and understandable for the lay person.

  2. I contracted Genital herpes at 21 when I was a virgin. I’d never had penetrative sex and when I didn’t want to ‘go all the way’, I felt pressured to give and receive oral sex. The boy suffered from cold sores and didn’t know he could infect me that way. I was traumatised for years afterward and articles like these remind me of that burning shame and how I was able to get rid of herpes with herbal products from www multivitamincare org. They have a 100% cure for HSV.

  3. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (Hsv) for the past 2 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr Jude helped someone in curing his (Hsv) herpes disease, quickly I copied his email which is [email protected] just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on [email protected] Or WhatsApp him via +2347058053587
