2. The #COVAX manufacturing taskforce has 3 workstreams that address different needs. The #mRNAHub falls under workstream 3. The aim = to improve the nr of Africa companies that can make vaccines.
3. Many issues had to be considered when setting up the hub. For instance, how they will deal with IP rights, regulatory issues (how jabs will be approved in countries), funding and how clinical trials will be conducted.
