# About

The Regionalized Vaccine Manufacturing Collaborative aims to increase vaccine access for low- and middle-income countries through a versatile global vaccine manufacturing network for pandemic and non-pandemic times.


## What is vaccine equity?

While, globally, we have the ability to research and design vaccines for almost any disease of interest, inequitably distributed funds and supply remain barriers preventing many people around the world from fulfilling their human potential in all aspects of health and wellbeing.


### Fair and just production, distribution, and administration of disease outbreak prevention vaccine technologies.


### Policies that allow all people to live their full potential without preventable ailments.


## Vaccine equity is a global, cross-sector effort

A robust ecosystem that can consistently deliver vaccine solutions to every region across the globe will require a collective effort. Researchers and manufacturers will need to provide vaccines that logistics leaders can distribute, and medical experts can administer. This pipeline, while it exists today, will need to undergo radical change to reach all people equitably.
