COVID-19 vaccines – WHO Meeting on correlates of protection
The World Health Organization (WHO) is hosting a webinar on “COVID-19 vaccines – WHO Meeting on correlates of protection”.
The objectives of the meeting are:
- To outline the role of immunobridging in the evaluation of COVID-19 vaccines (current vaccines, modified vaccines, new vaccines)
- To enumerate the data that would be required to inform decisions on immunobridging and correlates of protection.
- To discuss what is the role of the various assays and animal models and what are the current limitations with interpretation of results.
- To debate on the design and analysis of clinical studies to define correlates of protection (non-inferiority vs superiority, selection of comparator and end points)
- To review the current data and define a research agenda.
