DOST maps value chain for tracking COVID-19 vaccine rollout in PH
Dr. Jaime Montoya, Executive Director of the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Health Research and Development , said that vaccine development and production requires huge investments and resources.
After going through the proof of concept, the vaccine needs to be tested and subjected to the clinical trials. The next phase is to have the product registered with the regulatory agencies. Dr. Montoya said that product registration depends on how good are the results of the clinical trials. Upon approval of product registration, the vaccine will be made available to the public.
“As far as I know, we also have to upgrade our whole value chain as far as vaccine availability is concerned,” he added.
