WHO’s global mRNA vaccine technology transfer hub in #SouthAfrica is building self-reliance & provides a one stop shop for low- & middle-income countries to benefit from the technology transferred & know-how to produce mRNA vaccines bit.ly/3GEI4TT 
#COVID19 has demonstrated the importance of investments in science, technology & innovation.
For most of 2021, limited global vaccine supply led to huge disparities in #COVID19 vaccine access, leaving billions of people – especially in low- & middle-income countries – unprotected

The mRNA hub aim is to develop a training facility where mRNA technology is developed to the scale required for mass production of vaccines; then for that full package of technology to be transferrable to multiple recipients in low- & middle-income countries.
