The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for effective vaccine development and distribution. This book explores the entire arc of vaccine development and distribution, covering key concepts and problems in vaccine regulation, intellectual property, technology transfer, and international relations. It also analyzes the impact of COVID-19 and covers other vaccine races and future directions.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press


The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility to develop and distribute new vaccines efficiently and equitably, alongside the widespread administration of existing ones. The current models of vaccine production and allocation, primarily driven by market-based mechanisms, fail to adequately meet the urgent public health needs. This groundbreaking book is the first to comprehensively explore the entire journey of vaccine development and distribution, encompassing critical aspects such as allocation of research and development (R&D) funds, the administration of vaccines derived from R&D efforts, vaccine regulation, intellectual property, technology transfer, and international relations. By presenting complex concepts and challenges in a user-friendly manner, the book aims to make vaccine-related knowledge accessible to a broad audience, including non-specialists.

In its analysis of the impact of COVID-19, the book also delves into several other vaccine races and explores potential future directions in vaccine development and allocation. It sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by countries in their efforts to combat emerging pathogens and ensure global health security.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgent need for a paradigm shift in vaccine development and distribution. By recognizing the limitations of current approaches and embracing a more holistic and collaborative approach, we can strive to create a more resilient and equitable global health system. This book serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of vaccine development and distribution.
