Overview
There is currently no vaccine in advanced development to prevent Zika virus infection.
Future or Investigational Therapies
- There is currently no vaccine in advanced development to prevent Zika virus infection.
- It is unknown if vaccines against other flaviviruses are effective against Zika virus. The efficacy and safety of vaccines currently under development against Chikungunya virus are being studied in pre-clinical experiments for Zika virus.[2]
- In February 2016, Sanofi, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, Merck,and Takeda announced the launching of projects to develop vaccines against Zika virus using either new technologies or existing vaccines.[3][4]
