The French-owned Sanofi Pasteur Labs, along with its British partner GlaxoSmithKline are ready to go forward with the cumbersome approval process despite suffering several setbacks on the road to its development.
The companies announced to the press on Wednesday that they intended to submit data to regulators from a late-stage trial of the vaccine as well as another study which looked at its safety and efficacy as a booster only.
