Award recognises excellence in vaccine manufacturing

WuXi Vaccines, a leading global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) specialising in vaccines, has been awarded the title of 'Best Vaccine CMO of the Year' for the second consecutive year at the 2023 Asia-Pacific Vaccine Excellence Awards (AVEA).

The AVEA 2023 event was dedicated to acknowledging outstanding achievements in the vaccine and supply chain sector in Asia. Award winners were determined through voting by industry experts, professionals, and stakeholders in the vaccine community. WuXi Vaccines distinguished itself among the nominees for its commitment to advancing global vaccine accessibility, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Mr Jian Dong, CEO of WuXi Vaccines, expressed gratitude, stating: "We are deeply honoured to receive the 'Best Vaccine CMO Award of the Year' for the second year. This prestigious accolade serves as a testament to WuXi Vaccines' commitment to furthering global health initiatives by providing end-to-end solutions that enable our partners to bring vital vaccine products to the market more efficiently."

WuXi Vaccines has played a pivotal role in the battle against COVID-19 by manufacturing hundreds of millions of doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, facilitating distribution to over 180 countries. The recent launch of its standalone vaccines CDMO site in Suzhou, China, marked a significant milestone, passing an on-site GMP audit by a global vaccine leader. This achievement is expected to accelerate global client projects by offering high-quality end-to-end services for a diverse range of vaccines. Meanwhile, the Dundalk facility in Ireland achieved significant milestones, including the initiation of Tech Transfer (TT) and notable progress in commissioning qualification and validation (CQV) activities. The QC potency lab at the facility became operational in July 2020 and received the GMP certificate from the Ireland Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) in July 2022.
