COVID Vaccine Testing and Approval
Many people are astonished by the unprecedented speed of COVID vaccine testing.
The vaccine development process — for COVID and any vaccine —involves many layers of study, testing and review. According to The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, vaccines usually take an average of 10-15 years to create.
And yet, the
COVID vaccines were developed in less than a year.
The vaccines for the novel coronavirus went through the
same layers of review and testing as other vaccines. Due to the dire nature of the pandemic, certain barriers to development, related to funding and manufacturing, were removed.
To understand how this is possible, it is important to know how the vaccine development process typically works and how the COVID vaccine was created.
