GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In honor of National Naloxone Awareness Day on June 6th<\/sup>, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) is teaming up with Victoria\u2019s Voice Foundation<\/a> \u2013 which launched the awareness day with bipartisan congressional support \u2013 to spread awareness and encourage action against the ongoing opioid epidemic. Serving as a tribute to Victoria Siegel and all those lost to overdoses, Victoria\u2019s Voice is continuing the “Shine. Wear. Share. Care.” Campaign, which promotes education and preparedness by distributing purple light bulbs (Shine), wearable promotional items (Wear), encouraging social media participation via QR codes with #sharenaloxone (Share), and providing boxes of NARCAN\u00ae<\/sup> Nasal Spray (Care), supplied by Emergent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we mark another National Naloxone Awareness Day, we continue to honor the memory of my daughter, Victoria, and so many others lost to opioid overdose by sharing her story and helping communities be prepared,\u201d said Jackie Siegel, co-founder of Victoria\u2019s Voice Foundation. \u201cThis day is a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together to address this crisis. We are grateful for Emergent\u2019s continued support and we\u2019re proud of our shared commitment to saving lives through naloxone education and access.\u201d<\/p>\n

A crucial step in opioid emergency preparedness is ensuring lifesaving tools are readily available. Emergent is committed to expanding awareness and access to NARCAN\u00ae<\/sup> Nasal Spray across as many communities as possible, through efforts such as the new NARCAN\u00ae<\/sup> Nasal Spray Carrying Case. The case is designed to be compact, discreet and durable, making it easy to keep naloxone on hand in case of an opioid emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to work alongside Victoria\u2019s Voice Foundation as the presenting sponsor of National Naloxone Awareness Day to raise awareness about the critical, lifesaving role naloxone plays in addressing the ongoing opioid epidemic,\u201d said Paul Williams, senior vice president, head of products business, global government & public affairs at Emergent. \u201cOn a broader scale, we are encouraged by the progress being made at the national level, including the White House\u2019s 2026 National Drug Control Strategy, which encourages expanding access to naloxone and strengthening overdose response efforts. At Emergent, we remain dedicated to partnering with advocacy groups, like Victoria\u2019s Voice, leaders and organizations to help turn this momentum into meaningful impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building on this mission, Emergent is continuing the Ready to Rescue<\/em> initiative this fall, where campaign spokesperson, Zac Clark, will help bring the program to additional colleges and universities. Here, he will speak with students and faculty about his recovery story and how to use and access NARCAN\u00ae<\/sup> Nasal Spray.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know firsthand the challenges of opioid dependency through my personal experience and the many individuals I\u2019ve supported on their recovery journeys,\u201d said Zac Clark, founder & CEO of Release Recovery and NARCAN\u00ae<\/sup> Nasal Spray spokesperson. \u201cNational Naloxone Awareness Day is an important reminder of the work we can all do to help combat the opioid epidemic. Every conversation and step toward preparedness helps break stigma and save more lives. That\u2019s why I\u2019m proud of the work Emergent and I are doing to bring resources, like NARCAN\u00ae<\/sup> Nasal Spray, to more people because you never know when you can save someone\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n

NARCAN\u00ae<\/sup> Nasal Spray was the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved over-the-counter opioid overdose reversal treatment, marking a significant milestone in making this critical intervention more readily available to the general public. In 2025, Emergent gained exclusive commercial rights to distribute KLOXXADO\u00ae<\/sup> (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray 8 mg, a prescription option for those who choose to administer a higher dose of naloxone*. As such, Emergent is the leading U.S. supplier of nasal naloxone and offers an expanded range of products to support public interest groups, workplaces\/businesses, as well as patients, consumers and healthcare providers, including:<\/p>\n
