Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Vaccinology
- Epidemiology
Context:
- Latin America and the Caribbean face significant infectious disease burdens.
- Existing vaccine production capabilities are often fragmented across the region.
- A regional approach is needed to address common health threats.
Purpose:
- To identify conditions necessitating regional vaccine design and production.
- To outline the goals and strategies for a Regional System for Vaccine Production.
- To assess the structural and economic feasibility of such a system.
Summary:
- The paper examines the drivers for regional vaccine manufacturing in Latin America and the Caribbean.
- It details the proposed Regional System for Vaccine Production, including its objectives and operational strategies.
- Feasibility, structure, and economic considerations are analyzed.
