Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific financial values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This document is a regulatory update rather than a financial results report.
Material Changes and Operational Updates
- Regulatory Submission: The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted a submission to update the label for Bexsero.
- Proposed Label Change: The update seeks to include a single-dose booster for individuals aged 10 years and older who were previously vaccinated with Bexsero in infancy.
- Clinical Support: The submission is supported by a Phase 3b, open-label, multi-centre study evaluating immune response in individuals aged 10 to 20 years. Data indicates a single dose effectively boosts immune responses.
- Product Background: Bexsero is registered in 61 countries. Approximately 138 million doses have been distributed globally since 2015.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

- Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes a standard cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially due to risks described in GSK's 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F and Q1 2026 Results.
