Biotechnology company Valneva USA has landed a one-year, $70M firm-fixed-price contract from the Defense Logistics Agency to develop a vaccine against Japanese encephalitis virus.

The vaccine is intended for members of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.
