SINOVAC Secures Exclusive 2026 Influenza Vaccine Supply Contract in Chile
BEIJING, Jan. 4, 2026 — Sinovac Biotech Ltd. ("SINOVAC" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of biopharmaceutical products, has been awarded an exclusive contract under the Chilean government's 2026 global tender for seasonal influenza vaccines, with an order exceeding 8 million doses. The first batch of vaccines is scheduled to be delivered to Chile by the end of January 2026, ahead of the country's upcoming influenza season.
This award marks the second consecutive year SINOVAC has served as the sole provider for Chile's national influenza immunization efforts. The selection follows the successful execution of the 2025 program, during which SINOVAC-supplied vaccines supported the administration of 8.3 million doses, facilitating an approximately 80% vaccination rate among the nation's target populations.
SINOVAC's engagement in Chile extends beyond product supply to include multi-year clinical research collaborations. In August 2024, results from an international, multicenter clinical study of SINOVAC's quadrivalent influenza vaccine were published in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccines, demonstrating immunogenicity and safety outcomes, with antibody responses against all four influenza strains exceeding those of comparator vaccines. More recently, a Phase III study conducted in adult populations in Chile, evaluating both humoral and cellular immune responses, was published in Nature Communications, further supporting the scientific basis of the vaccine's immunogenicity and safety.
To date, SINOVAC's influenza vaccines have been authorized in nearly 20 countries and regions. With cumulative global deliveries exceeding 120 million doses, the Company continues to strengthen its role in global respiratory disease prevention through consistent manufacturing quality and a robust evidence-based clinical program.
