Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: 80/100, , course: Tropical Medicine-Immuniwation and surveillance, language: English, abstract: This paper explains how vaccines are developed and describes in detail their manufacturing process The Greeks had two gods of health: Aesculapius and Hygieia, therapy and prevention, respectively. Medicine in the twentieth century retains those two concepts, and vaccination is a powerful means of prevention. Vaccines provide the immunity that comes from natural infection without the consequences of natural infection; help protect people from harmful infections before they come in contact with the disease. Vaccines may also help alleviate the symptoms of the infection caused by the virus.Vaccines provide the immunity that comes from natural infection without the consequences of natural infection. Vaccine development is difficult, complex, highly risky, and costly and includes clinical development, process development and assay development. Vaccine development requires strong management systems and controls, and requisite skill sets among scientists and engineers. Pharmaceutical companies must demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a medicinal product or vaccine through the use of clinical trials, before a regulatory authority registers the product. The vast majority of over one billion doses of vaccines manufactured worldwide each year are given to perfectly healthy individuals. It is this fact that drives the requirements for vaccines to be among the most rigorously designed, monitored and compliant products manufactured today.

Utilising successful case studies Vaccine Development will provide insight to the issues scientists face when producing a vaccine, the steps involved and will serve as an ideal reference tool regarding state-of-the-art vaccine development.

On July 30-31, 2018, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop titled Continuous Manufacturing for the Modernization of Pharmaceutical Production. This workshop discussed the business and regulatory concerns associated with adopting continuous manufacturing techniques to produce biologics such as enzymes, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines. The participants also discussed specific challenges for integration across the manufacturing system, including upstream and downstream processes, analytical techniques, and drug product development. The workshop addressed these challenges broadly across the biologics domain but focused particularly on drug categories of greatest FDA and industrial interest such as monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

This volume explores the application of Quality by Design (QbD) to biopharmaceutical drug product development. Twenty-eight comprehensive chapters cover dosage forms, liquid and lyophilized drug products. The introductory chapters of this book define key elements of QbD and examine how these elements are integrated into drug product development. These chapters also discuss lessons learned from the FDA Office of Biotechnology Products pilot program. Following chapters demonstrate how QbD is used for formulation development ranging from screening of formulations to developability assessment to development of lyophilized and liquid formats. The next few chapters study the use of small-scale and surrogate models as well as QbD application to drug product processes such as drug substance freezing and thawing, mixing, sterile filtration, filling, lyophilization, inspection and shipping and handling. Later chapters describe more specialized applications of QbD in the drug product realm. This includes the use of QbD in primary containers, devices and combination product development. The volume also explores QbD applied to vaccine development, automation, mathematical modeling and monitoring, and controlling processes and defining control strategies. It concludes with a discussion on the application of QbD to drug product technology transfer as well as overall regulatory considerations and lifecycle management. Quality by Design for Biopharmaceutical Drug Product Development is an authoritative resource for scientists and researchers interested in expanding their knowledge on QbD principles and uses in creating better drugs.
