Centralised global network to compare Covid-19 vaccines

London — A major non-profit health emergencies group has set up a global laboratory network to assess data from potential Covid-19 vaccines, allowing scientists and drugmakers to compare them and speed up selection of the most effective shots.

“By taking the centralised lab approach ... it will give us a chance to really make sure we are comparing apples with apples.” But with more than 320 Covid-19 vaccine candidates in the works, Saville said, the many differences in data collection and evaluation methods are an issue. “With hundreds of Covid-19 vaccines in development ... it’s essential that we have a system that can reliably evaluate and compare the immune response of candidates currently undergoing testing,” she said.
