WHO Framework for Assessing the Quality of Vaccines

The WHO Framework for Assessing the Quality of Vaccines is a set of guidelines used to ensure vaccines are safe, effective, and of good quality before they reach people. It involves evaluating the manufacturing process, testing the vaccine to confirm its ingredients and strength, and reviewing the production facilities. This process helps ensure vaccines meet international standards, reducing the risk of ineffective or unsafe vaccines being used. Essentially, it’s a thorough check to protect public health and ensure confidence in vaccination programs worldwide.
