The development of SWE started with the support of various funders, such as the European Commission, US HHS-BARDA, the German Government Technical Cooperation.
VFI has transferred manufacturing processes and quality control of SWE to vaccine manufacturers in developing countries: PT Biofarma in Indonesia and IVAC in Vietnam.
Over the years, SWE was demonstrated safe and effective, both in terms of enabling adjuvanticity and dose-sparing, when included in numerous preclinical vaccine candidates, including against Inactivated Polio Virus, Influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Rabies, and Group A streptococcus.
