WELCOME TO
NOSEVAC

The international partnership to advance the development of new vaccines against upper respiratory tract pathogens

The NOSEVAC project aims at developing and evaluating innovative nasal vaccine platforms as a novel approach to prevent the earliest stage of infection, thereby inhibiting upper respiratory tract (URT) colonisation, transmission and disease.

Under the European Vaccine Initiative (EVI) coordination, the NOSEVAC project builds on a unique consortium of 13 complementary teams from the EU, UK and Switzerland.

The project focuses on four major respiratory pathogens: Streptococcus pneumoniae or pneumococcus, Bordetella, influenza virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for diseases with major impact on public health: community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), whooping cough, influenza and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), respectively.

NOSEVAC aims to combine innovative formulations and manufacturing processes to deliver and evaluate bivalent RNA- and protein-based nasal vaccines against bacterial and viral infection, respectively.
