Vaccines

GSK markets over 25 vaccines worldwide to prevent potentially life-threatening or crippling illnesses such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, typhoid, influenza and bacterial meningitis.

The majority of our vaccine R&D activities are conducted at GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals in Rixensart, Belgium. Over 1,300 of our research scientists are devoted to developing new vaccines and more cost-effective and convenient combination vaccines to prevent infections that cause serious medical problems worldwide.

We are also targeting therapeutic vaccines that may prevent relapse in cancer patients. The strength of our vaccine pipeline will provide opportunities for us to consistently deliver new vaccines for many years to come.
