National Institute of Health Korea Vaccine Resarch Center

Visions and Goal

  • vision

    Promoting Korean public vaccines, and securing a rapid development support system to respond to public health crises caused by emerging infectious diseases
  • goal

    • Promoting Korean public vaccines (4 types secured by 2027 in clinical phase 2):

      1 type in phase 2 clinical trials ('22) → 4 types ('27)

    • Securing rapid core platform technologies such as mRNA:

      2 types (’22) → 15 types (’27)

    • Establishing a vaccine library for new infectious diseases:

      progress rate 0% (‘22) → 100% (’27)

    • Expanding registered pathogen resources:

      Registered resources 7,000 shares (’22) → 13,000 shares (’27)
