Economics For Vaccine Manufacturing: Comparing Traditional To Modern Modalities

The World Vaccine Congress Washington 2023 took place 3-6 April 2023 in Washington, DC, USA. MilliporeSigma delivered a presentation on the analysis and comparison of manufacturing costs between traditional and modern vaccines.

Key Objectives:

• Assess the cost structure for each unit operation to identify the critical bottleneck steps (often most expensive)
• Investigating legacy processes and single-use processes to understand cost structure
• Emphasizing how critical the quality of inputs and model assumptions (cell line, batch size, process yield/titers) are to the effectiveness of the cost model
