Demand for vaccines is on the rise worldwide, and Meiji is responding on several fronts. As well as our approved influenza, hepatitis and Japanese encephalitis vaccines, we continue to develop new vaccines for emerging threats such as coronaviruses and Dengue fever. We also manufacture combined vaccines and single-supply products for which no alternative products are available.

Our response to COVID-19

The Meiji Group is responding to COVID-19 on multiple fronts which include supplying antigen test kits and developing inactivated vaccines and therapeutic agents. Our inactivated vaccine KD-414, currently in development, utilizes knowledge we have accumulated over many years in the vaccine field. Read more about our ongoing efforts at the link below.
