GeoVax Labs, Inc. recognized World Immunization Day by highlighting the critical need for innovative vaccine development and rebuilding public trust in vaccination programs. The clinical-stage biotechnology company emphasized that while over 90% of Americans support routine childhood immunization, surveys show declining confidence in newer vaccines and the institutions that promote them.
David A. Dodd, Chairman & CEO of GeoVax, stated that vaccination remains one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine, preventing millions of deaths each year. The company is focusing on advancing next-generation vaccines that address current threats while restoring public trust through transparency and rigorous science. This approach comes at a time when the "trust gap" underscores the need for companies to advance safe, science-driven vaccine development while communicating openly with patients, providers, and policymakers.
GeoVax's diversified vaccine platforms include multi-antigen vaccine candidates such as its COVID-19 vaccine GEO-CM04S1 and its GEO-MVA platform for Mpox and smallpox. These vaccines are designed to provide broader, more durable immune responses compared to single-antigen approaches. The company's focus extends to vulnerable populations, with particular attention to the more than 40 million immunocompromised individuals in the U.S. who may be underserved by current vaccine technologies.
A significant component of GeoVax's strategy involves commitment to U.S. manufacturing. The company is advancing continuous cell line manufacturing to expand supply, reduce costs, and support domestic biodefense preparedness. This aligns with federal initiatives to strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities while providing solutions to global health needs.

Looking ahead, Dodd emphasized that Americans still believe in the power of vaccines, but the challenge lies in ensuring that belief carries forward to the next generation of vaccines. By advancing innovation while prioritizing openness and trust, GeoVax aims to help build a future where immunization continues to save lives and protect communities worldwide. The company's approach represents a broader industry shift toward addressing both scientific and social challenges in vaccine development and deployment.
