VDEC's work includes vaccine discovery and surveillance. The Vaccine Assay and Immune Response team within VDEC provides world class scientific expertise and regulated facilities to enable the classification of diseases, pathogens and their mechanisms of action. They also provide continued national surveillance after the release of vaccines.
