Support for facilities and efficacy evaluation system to promote vaccine R&D and commercialization
Provide infrastructure such as “effectiveness evaluation service for vaccines under development” and high-risk biosafety facilities which can secure competitiveness by evaluating and guaranteeing the effectiveness of vaccine candidates
Propose the direction of policies through taking the role of control tower on public vaccine R&D
Perform the role of a control tower for developing vaccines and its commercialization through cooperation between the government (Ministry of Health and Welfare, Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Ministry of Industry, etc.) and the private sector
