Paul Chaplin, President & Chief Executive Officer of Bavarian Nordic said: “Delivering our best-ever financial results in 2023, we are now entering a new era for Bavarian Nordic with a broadened portfolio of vaccines, increasing our impact on public health, while also establishing a new base for revenue and growth in the coming years.
