SHIGETECVAX Consortium Convenes Final Project Meeting The SHIGETECVAX consortium held its final project meeting on 24 March 2026. The virtual event brought together scientific, clinical, and strategic partners from Europe, Asia, and the United States, dedicated to advancing an oral vaccine candidate against Shigella and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).

#SHIGETECVAX held its final meeting on 24 March, celebrating a major milestone & a strong foundation for future oral #vaccine candidate development to combat #Shigella and Enterotoxigenic #Escherichia coli (ETEC). Read more: www.shigetecvax.org/post/shigete...
