Types of vaccination
Infectious diseases are typically spread by bacteria or viruses. The most effective method for prevention are vaccinations. Vaccines are biological preparations offering us an option to create immunity against particular diseases without the necessity to be exposed to the real microorganism.
Not all vaccines have the same characteristics and functionality. There are several types of vaccines available: whole pathogen vaccines (traditional vaccines), which work with weakened version of the pathogen, or subunit vaccines containing specific piece of the germ. New approaches focus on nucleic acid technologies, like the mRNA vaccinations arose during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those new approaches additionally enable vaccination against several diseases, e. g. in the field of oncology.
Each year billions of doses of vaccines are sold in the market, whereas syringes and vials are mostly the packaging options of choice.
Since time to market is key for pharmaceutical companies developing vaccines, it is necessary to have a reliable partner with high expertise, years of experience and a variety of high-quality products, to find the best suited solution, ensuring optimal packaging of drugs used for vaccinations. We would be happy to be your partner as well!
More than 50 million deaths can be prevented through immunization between 2021 and 2030
