My understanding is Microbix will supply the antigen to the drug companies who will then use it to make a vaccine. Please correct me here if I’m wrong.

  I don't know if they are doing that. The growth is coming from the QAPs and VTM businesses which I don't believe have anything to do with the vaccine. I haven't paid much attention to the antigen biz as the CEO has indicated it should get back to 2019 levels once hospitals have more capacity.

MBX could produce antigen for any virus, but they don't do it for COVID-19.  Probably won't either, since they are focused on another line of the business - control kits for testing for COVID-19, HPV, others.  They do produce antigens for other viruses where they specialize - rubella, I believe is one.  It is on their website, so good place to go and check.  Controls
