Is vaccine recommendation after registration really needed? Is regulatory approval the same as a recommendation? Can a research laboratory bring its own vaccine to a market?

On the 24th of February for the first VacciTalk episode “Vaccine Development from Bench to Patient: Myths and Reality ” we sat down with Prof. Dr. Joe Schmitt, vaccine expert with 40 years of experience, and discovered answers to these and many other questions and debunked some of the most common myths related to vaccine development in a live discussion.

Watch the replay of VacciTalk “Vaccine Development from Bench to Patient: Myths and Reality ” and learn about:
  • The common misconceptions related to the vaccine development
  • Challenges these misconceptions can cause
  • Ways to overcome them
