The Schall Law Probes Valneva Over Vaccine Safety Concerns.
Back in late February, concerns started swirling around Valneva SE (NASDAQ: VALN) after safety issues were linked to its chikungunya vaccine, IXCHIQ.
Now, The Schall Law Firm is taking a closer look. The firm is investigating whether Valneva may have misled investors or left out key details about the vaccine’s risks.
CDC Sounds the Alarm on IXCHIQ
On February 25, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a notice saying it’s investigating five hospitalizations tied to Valneva’s vaccine. The reported cases involved people 65 and older who experienced cardiac or neurological complications shortly after getting the shot.
The news caught the attention of investors—and not in a good way. Over the course of a few trading sessions, Valneva’s ADR (American Depositary Receipt) shares dropped more than 13.5%.
The Schall Law Firm is asking whether Valneva left investors in the dark. Their investigation focuses on whether the company:
-
Made public statements that were incomplete or misleading, or
-
Failed to share known risks about the vaccine in time
If that’s the case, shareholders who took a hit could have legal grounds to seek compensation under federal securities laws.
