CAVD (Cooperative Agreement for the Vaccine Development)

CAVD, or Cooperative Agreement for Vaccine Development, is a partnership between government agencies and other organizations to support the research, testing, and production of vaccines. It provides funding and resources to help develop vaccines efficiently, ensuring they are safe and effective. This collaborative approach accelerates the process of bringing new vaccines to the public, especially during health emergencies like pandemics. Essentially, CAVD combines expertise and funding to streamline vaccine development, improving preparedness and response to infectious diseases.
