In this interactive session, attendees will hear from Vax-Hub researchers on some of the manufacturing challenges for the current vaccine platforms being explored for COVID-19, as well as how Vax-Hub works through partnerships with LMIC manufacturers to co-design vaccine manufacturing technologies suited to local needs.

There will also be an opportunity to hear from Vax-Hub partner, Hilleman Laboratories (an equal joint-venture partnership formed between Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
