The Spanish authorities today announced that they have finalized the evaluation of ALK's application for price and reimbursement of the company's tablet based vaccine against grass pollen allergy with a positive outcome. GRAZAX® will now be eligible for general, national reimbursement on level with other pharmaceutical products in Spain. The decision, which comes earlier than anticipated, enables a launch of GRAZAX® for adults in Spain in due time ahead of the 2009 grass pollen season. This announcement does not change ALK's financial outlook for 2008.
