Its lead programs are pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidates VAX-31 (31-valent) and VAX-24 (24-valent) in Phase 2/3 studies, with earlier-stage candidates targeting Group A Strep and Shigella; Vaxcyte focuses on reducing invasive bacterial disease burden, antibiotic resistance consequences, and related morbidity in vulnerable populations.
