In this age of the worldwide pandemic caused by COVID-19, you may be asking yourself when is a vaccine going to come? Vaccine development is a long, complex process, often lasting 10-15 years and involving a combination of public and private involvement. In fact, to date the vaccine that took the shortest amount of time from development to market, four years to be exact, was the measles vaccine.
The current system for developing, testing, and regulating vaccines developed during the 20th century as the groups involved standardized their procedures and regulations. So, one of the answers to the title's question is actually in the process of making and developing vaccines.
In this episode, we’ll explore this process and how it dovetails and builds on the pioneering work of Dr. Frances Kelsey and the regulation of drug approval, which is explored in part 1 of this series.
