    Jeffrey Kraws's questions to GeoVax Labs (GOVX) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Asked about the safety profile of the Mpox vaccine, specifically regarding potential complications like myocarditis, and also inquired about government support for GeoVax's plans to establish U.S.-based MVA vaccine manufacturing.

    Answer

    The executive affirmed the MVA vector's excellent safety profile, noting it was developed for immunocompromised individuals and does not replicate in humans, hence no such side effects have been observed. Regarding manufacturing, he confirmed the current need to work with partners abroad but mentioned their proposal for an advanced, U.S.-based MVA manufacturing process was deemed appropriate for funding by BARDA and is under consideration as funds become available. They are actively lobbying legislators for support.
