“This program has made significant clinical development progress
this year, and we are very excited to showcase our technology at
such a prestigious event,” said Joseph Hernandez, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Blue Water Vaccines. “Although our
primary targets of this vaccine remain AOM and pneumococcal
pneumonia, data from the original publication for this vaccine
suggests that BWV-201 may also protect against invasive
pneumococcal disease. We look forward to sharing our strategy with
all colleagues in attendance and further advancing this program
into clinical trials.”
