Vaccine regulation

Vaccine regulation involves government agencies reviewing and monitoring vaccines before and after approval to ensure they are safe, effective, and of high quality. This process includes rigorous testing through clinical trials, thorough review of manufacturing practices, and ongoing surveillance once the vaccine is in use. Regulators evaluate scientific data to make informed decisions, requiring manufacturers to meet strict standards. The goal is to protect public health by ensuring that vaccines are safe for widespread use while efficiently providing access to new and needed vaccines.
