The webinar is part of the Humane Society International project “Promoting implementation plans for replacement of animal testing for human vaccines”, a 3-year project aiming to accelerate the implementation and regulatory acceptance of non-animal approaches for legacy human vaccine batch-release testing with a specific focus on developing countries, advancing the dialogue toward global regulatory alignment while generating local implementation plans and competencies.

The webinar explains the theoretical aspects of the transition to non-animal based vaccine batch release testing that have been incorporated in regulations and guidelines and provides key insights and references to representatives of regulatory agencies and public and private testing laboratories, and manufacturers worldwide. The most representatives case studies of animal testing substitution are presented, highlighting the scientific, technical, and data driven rationale for the substitution of the methods, and some of the available mechanisms of dialogue and collaboration between industry and regulatory agencies.
