Blue Water Vaccines, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing vaccines headquartered in Cincinnati, OH. The company holds the rights to proprietary technology developed at the University of Oxford, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), and St. Jude Children's Hospital. The company has licensed a novel virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine platform from CCHMC to develop vaccines for multiple infectious diseases. Blue Water Vaccines' universal influenza vaccine has the potential to provide lifelong protection from influenza by leveraging epitopes of limited variability in the head domain of the haemagglutinin protein that are naturally targeted by the immune system. The company's Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) live-attenuated vaccine may prevent middle ear infections, known as Acute Otitis Media (AOM), in children and has been shown to prevent colonization of pneumococcus bacteria in the middle ear of animal models. AOM accounts for approximately 20 million physician visits annually in the United States and, globally, AOM caused by pneumococcus accounts for approximately 300 million cases each year.
