By Elton Alisson | Agência FAPESP – With at least two COVID-19 vaccines winning regulatory approval in the UK, US and Canada, and vaccination starting in those countries, the next challenge is large-scale production of vaccines and equitable global distribution to contain transmission of the disease.
In developing countries such as Brazil, it will be necessary to set up and manage supply chains for vaccine production, fill-and-finish, transportation, and storage. The inputs required, ranging from biological components to vials, syringes, and needles, are manufactured in different parts of the world and subject to shortages due to the sharp rise in world demand and the fall in air traffic, among other factors.
