Vaccine Production & Development

The field of vaccine development focuses on various technological initiatives and applied research projects that improve and support better practices and systems for vaccination safety. The extraordinary Ebola disease outbreak last year spurred business and research response; while we look for answers, we need to reflect on the lessons learnt to meet the challenges of the present. The process of developing vaccines is a drawn-out, intricate one that frequently takes ten to fifteen years and involves both public and private participation. The groups involved standardized their processes and regulations during the 20th century, which led to the development of the current system for creating, testing, and regulating vaccinations.
