VBI Vaccines Inc. (Nasdaq: VBIV) (VBI), a biopharmaceutical company driven by immunology in the pursuit of powerful prevention and treatment of disease, today announced that Health Canada has approved PreHevbrio [3-antigen Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant)] for active immunization against infection caused by all known subtypes of hepatitis B (HBV) virus in adults 18 years of age and older. It can be expected that hepatitis D will also be prevented by immunization with PreHevbrio as hepatitis D (caused by the delta agent) does not occur in the absence of hepatitis B infection.
