Emerging manufacturers engagements in the COVID −19 vaccine research, development and supply


DCVMN, or the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network, is a cohort of 41 multinational vaccine manufacturers in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia involved in vaccine development from the research to supply stages. The manufacturers work to benefit both local communities as well as international consumers, and they have contributed to the efforts against coronavirus. 13 of the DCVMN organizations have an understanding of international regulations for supply, as well as vaccines with WHO-prequalified vaccine status.
