Rapid Response, Low-Cost Vaccine Manufacturing
Rapid Response, Low-Cost Vaccine Manufacturing
Welcome to the replay of our webinar hosted by Batavia Biosciences in partnership with DCVMN. This informative session, titled “Rapid Response, Low-Cost Manufacturing of Viral Vaccines Against Emerging Infectious Disease Threats,” addressed some of the most pressing issues in today’s global health landscape.
Dealing with Emerging Threats Infectious Disease
In a world where vaccine inequality and public hesitancy continue to plague our efforts to increase coverage, it is essential to adapt and innovate. Did you know that approximately 25 million children under the age of one did not receive essential vaccines, marking the highest count since 2009? During the COVID-19 pandemic, global vaccine coverage fell to 81%, with a mere 29% of the population in developing countries receiving vaccinations against Covid.
The challenges we face may seem overwhelming, but through the advancements in our HIP-Vax platform, we believe we’re poised to make a significant difference. The HIP-Vax platform aims to shorten the time it takes to bring vaccines to the clinic, dramatically reducing manufacturing costs.
Our speaker for the session was Alfred Luitjens, the Global Technical Sales Director at Batavia Biosciences. Alfred is well-versed in the complexities of vaccine production and eager to share insights into how we can work towards a more equitable future through innovative solutions.
