Vaccines development, regulations and manufacturing Part-2
In Part 2, we will review vaccine processes with examples based upon influenza vaccine, inactivated Polio vaccine and an overview of the different types of vaccine production processes from cell expansion, USP and DSP, to the formulation and filling operations to make the finished product. We will talk about vaccine production facilities, how equipment is integrated their operating principles and biological safety levels for containment. Finally, we will look at the vaccine industry today, the supply chain and globalization, and how important vaccines are in pandemic preparedness, availability, and time to market.
