PaxVax Corporation researches, develops, manufactures, and commercializes vaccines against various infectious diseases. PaxVax manufactures the typhoid vaccine Vivotif and cholera vaccine Vaxchora.[1][2]

In May 2018, PaxVax received fast track designation from the FDA for its chikungunya vaccine, which is currently in phase 2 testing.[3]

PaxVax was the subject of a hoax, widely reported by anti-vaccination media, claiming that Australia was forcibly vaccinating its citizens by aerial spraying.[4]
