Course Description:In June 2021, the leaders from the Group of Seven industrialized nations committed to sharing at least 1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses with countries where vaccination efforts have lagged. One essential aspect to expanding vaccination rates globally is to ensure appropriate storage and distribution of the vaccines throughout the supply chain. Each of the vaccine platforms and products have different storage and distribution requirements that countries must effectively consider and manage so that vaccine integrity is maintained from the point of manufacture to the point of administration.
Convened by United States Pharmacopeia (USP), this webinar will discuss the challenges in assuring appropriate storage and distribution for the different COVID 19 vaccine products that are currently available.
