Why Vaxart Stock Is Soaring Today
Shares of Vaxart (NASDAQ: VXRT) surged 17% Friday, furthering a sharp rally in the biotechnology company's stock price in recent days.
Vaxart released a study on April 22 indicating that almost 19 million more American adults would get COVID-19 vaccines if they could do so via a pill rather than a shot. "Needle injections present a barrier to getting people vaccinated, and we have a solution that we believe will be effective and would allow people to avoid injections they don't want to have," Vaxart CEO Andrei Floroiu said in a press release.
