Vaccines Working Group

The Vaccines Working Group was created to support research, design and development of vaccines against COVID-19. The group meets every two weeks to discuss the latest advances in immunology, virology, vaccine science, epidemiology, vaccine development, regulatory approvals and distribution. Current areas of focus of the Vaccine Working Group include understanding the longevity of vaccine-induced immunity, biological correlates of immunity, issues related to SARS-CoV-2 infection among vaccinated individuals including the impact of viral variants, and the ethical, structural and social-political dimensions of the COVID-19 vaccines such as vaccine trial design, recruitment and participation, vaccine access, distribution, vaccine equity and acceptance.
