IXIARO®/JESPECT®
A strong focus is given to the IXIARO®/JESPECT® vaccine business to grow sales in the traveler and military markets. After having received a broadened vaccination recommendation in the U.S. in 2009, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI) in the UK has now also extended its Japanese Encephalitis immunization recommendation to include the Intercell vaccine. Additional recommendations are expected for other key countries in Europe. These recommendations are essential to continue advancing product awareness and market growth for the Intercell vaccine to prevent Japanese Encephalitis.

Product sales are expected to increase significantly in Q2 2010, supported by the upcoming travel season. Intercell had previously announced that new product supplies designated for marketing and distribution partners, shifted from Q1 to Q2 2010 due to supply-planning and lot release timing for European markets.
The development targeting the Asian endemic markets is progressing further. The Phase III start for the endemic Japanese Encephalitis vaccine produced by Intercell's partner Biological E. in India is expected to commence by the end of 2010 under a revised regulatory path to licensure by Indian authorities.
Good progress in development pipeline - clinical programs progressing according to plan
