Developing COVID-19 Vaccines in Record Time, Part 4: Update on Vaccines
November 8, 2021
COVID-19 Vaccine Update Part 4 – Updates from vaccine developers regarding COVID-19 vaccines for children and adults.
This webinar, supported by the National Adult and Influenza Immunization Summit (NAIIS), featured updates from COVID-19 vaccine developers regarding COVID-19 vaccines for adults and children. This is the 4th in a series of webinars featuring vaccine manufacturers presenting their latest updates on COVID-19 vaccine research for specific populations, development, and rollout. We featured presentations from companies with currently available COVID-19 vaccines, and/or vaccine candidates in later clinical trial phases (Phase 2/3) as well vaccines in earlier phases of clinical development. We asked all companies to present updates on either: (1) published or other data plus timing of next phase of trials; (2) published Phase 2 data as well as a description and updates on the progress of Phase 3 trials; or (3) current vaccines and their roll out; availability of doses over the next few months; and/or other developments with regard to dosing or formulation that would be of interest to NAIIS partners.
After the presentations, there was a moderated discussion of scientific and implementation topics: understanding of the variants/mutations of SARS-CoV2 and the vaccines; thoughts about duration of immunity, impact of vaccination on transmission, and industry thoughts on potential changes in formulations as the SARS-CoV-2 viruses continue to evolve. Questions for the attendees were also taken.
This meeting was moderated by Phyllis Arthur, Vice President, Infectious Diseases & Emerging Science Policy, at BIO. We at the Summit are delighted and grateful for this opportunity to collaborate with BIO on this important discussion.
