Another focus of the work is the work on vaccines against malaria . A first vaccine ( Mosquirix ) received positive assessments from the European Medicines Agency in 2015 .
With the pandemic spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 2020, the Jenner Institute began developing a vaccine against the disease. The basis for this had already been created with previous research on similar virus strains .
