"When AstraZeneca approached Brand Institute about partnering on the name for their COVID-19 vaccine, their goals were clear," said Brand Institute's Chairman and CEO, James L. Dettore. "AstraZeneca is committed to helping end the deadliest pandemic in a generation by supplying the COVID-19 vaccine at no profit to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Every village and every town was a phrase that was introduced early on, and I still remember it. This creative direction became one of the dominant themes explored in the development of potential brand name candidates."

AstraZeneca has delivered on their ambitious manufacturing and distribution goals, supplying more than 700 million doses of their COVID-19 Vaccine to 170 countries worldwide.

"Vaxzevria® is the COVID-19 vaccine for everyone. That is a powerful message, encoded in a manner that is subtle, memorable, and easy to pronounce globally. In addition, the name is significantly distinct from other vaccines and pharmaceutical products, helping to ensure the safe prescribing and administration of the vaccine. We are honored to have partnered on the development of this great brand name."
