National control laboratory independent lot testing of COVID-19 vaccines: the UK experience

Abstract The past 18 months have seen an unprecedented approach to vaccine development in the global effort against the COVID-19 pandemic. The process from discovery research, through clinical trials and regulatory approval often takes more than 10 years. However, the critical need to expedite vacci...

The process from discovery research, through clinical trials and regulatory approval often takes more than 10 years.
