Description
Vaccine inequality & low public acceptance inhibit vaccine uptake and limit coverage. Approximately 25m children under 1 year of age did not receive basic vaccines (highest since 2009). Global vaccine coverage dropped during COVID pandemic to 81%, and only 29% of the population in developing countries was vaccinated against Covid. Our HIP-Vax platform can help solve these issues by shortening the time to the clinic and greatly reducing vaccine manufacturing costs. Our HIP-Vax platform helps make vaccines more affordable and allows for more equitable access.
