"Discover, Develop, Deliver: Work on Vaccines for Global Health at the International Vaccine Institute, Seoul"

The International Vaccine Institute (IVI) was founded as an initiative of the United Nations Development Program to discover, develop and deliver safe, effective and affordable vaccines for developing nations. That mission remains central to IVI’s purpose, and the vaccines that IVI has been developing – for cholera, typhoid, dengue and Middle East respiratory syndrome – reflect the idea that vaccine development should not cease when multinational vaccine companies do not see an incentive to pursue vaccines for global health. The discussion will focus on IVI’s current portfolio of vaccines and will include a discussion of IVI’s future vaccine development plans for hepatitis E and group A Streptococcus.
