What will this webinar address?

Over the past decade, outbreaks of H1N1 influenza, Sars-Cov, Ebola, and MERS have sparked ongoing conversations about strategic approaches and responses to pandemics and epidemics. With the spread of SARS-CoV-2 intensifying, scientists, together with pharmaceutical companies, are reinventing how to bring these life-saving drugs to market faster without impacting product quality, safety, or efficacy. The response has its own set of complex challenges that traditional manufacturing methods won’t solve.

This session will tackle some of the key lessons learned from the COVID 19 situation, the role, application, and potential of mRNA Vaccines technologies, as well as some of the challenges and considerations for achieving a robust global vaccine supply chain.

Discussion will cover:
  • Lesson Learned from the global COVID 19 vaccine rollout
  • Bringing life-saving drugs to market faster without impacting product quality, safety, or efficacy
  • Impacts and comparisons of classic platforms vs new-generation platforms
  • Approaches to manage the unpredictable demand for life-saving product
  • Need for reliable and robust manufacturing processes
  • Selection of appropriate packaging components, raw materials, and procurement
  • Ensuring robust supply chain and logistics
  • Why attend?

  • Overview on the importance of fill/finish with a focus on m-RNA vaccine and how it fits in with the supply chain
  • Learn how COVID-19 highlighted the necessity of a robust aseptic manufacturing capacity, some of the potential challenges, initial responses, and possible solutions
  • Key global supply chain challenges for vaccine products
  • Creating sustainable and resilient distribution systems.
