ABSTRACT
Vaccine development usually takes around 7 y to come to the market after getting necessary regulatory approvals. But recent pandemics like Covid, Ebola, Swine Flu, have resulted in the collaboration of efforts between the government doing investments in vaccine development, academia, regulatory bodies, and industry. This has shortened the timelines for approval for vaccines. In 2009, HINI, Swine flu vaccines took 93 d for identifying the vaccine candidate for clinical trials. In 2014, for Ebola vaccine, it was deployed while the epidemic was still going on. Ebola vaccine was developed in 5 y. In case of Covid (SARS-CoV-2) clinical trials were approved when 2 mo of the pandemic onset. Within a time of 9 mo about 138 vaccine candidates are being reviewed for approval of EUA. This highly helps in the shortening of vaccine development and necessary approval. In this paper, we focused on the regulatory framework of vaccine development in INDIA, US and EU.Copyright © 2023 The Authors.
