This two-page fact sheet provides an overview of evidence and recommendations supporting the safety of the live attenuated CD-JEV Japanese encephalitis vaccine.

Blow-fill-seal (BFS) technologies use a polymer material to form the container. BFS is widely used for packaging of single-dose pharmaceuticals, but has yet to be introduced for vaccines. The BFS manufacturing process can accommodate the filling of multiple containers into a single strip with a flexible detachment point, allowing for the easy separation of each unit-dose container at the point of delivery.

This Vaccine and Pharmaceutical Technologies documents answers frequently asked questions regarding one type of freeze-preventive vaccine carrier. It includes why vaccine freezing is a problem, the benefits of freeze-preventive carriers, and the next steps for the technology.
