ABSTRACT
To date, several COVID-19 vaccines have been authorized for the voluntary immunization of adults. The quick availability of multiple vaccines is a good strategy to achieve herd immunity during a pandemic. However, the fast-track development of vaccines during this pandemic has raised concerns regarding the quality, safety, and effectiveness of vaccines. In response, USP organized a roundtable to discuss challenges and to solicit input on ways to build trust in vaccines. Key discussion points included manufacturing capacity, availability of a skilled workforce, and investment in new technologies that would enable the safety and quality of vaccine products. There was also a consensus that a rigorous and transparent clinical trial design is essential for understanding the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
