Other risks include reliance on sales of key marketed products (IXIARO, DUKORAL, IXCHIQ), which are sensitive to travel industry strength, side effects (e.g., IXCHIQ temporary restrictions), and competition. Geopolitical risks, financing needs, operational risks related to manufacturing facilities and supply chains, and compliance with listed company requirements (including new EU CSRD obligations and U.S. shareholder litigation risk) also pose challenges - Risks relating to the Lyme disease vaccine candidate and the Pfizer Partnership: Pfizer has considerable discretion over VLA15's development and commercialization.
