Services
The Sabin Vaccine Institute aims to make vaccines more accessible, enable innovation, and expand global immunization efforts. The institute's Boost Community offers immunization professionals worldwide a platform for connection, resources, and training. Additionally, they host learning opportunities and collaborate with vaccination leaders through initiatives such as the Vaccination Action Network and the Global Mass Vaccination Site Collaborative.
Global HPV Consortium
The Sabin Vaccine Institute launched the Global HPV Consortium to address the prevention of HPV infection and elimination of cervical cancer as a public health concern. This initiative emphasizes a concerted effort to tackle one of the most preventable cancers through widespread vaccination and policy advocacy.
International Rotavirus Symposium
The Sabin Vaccine Institute organizes the International Rotavirus Symposium biennially. This event gathers researchers and stakeholders to focus on preventing rotavirus, a leading cause of severe diarrheal disease in children. The symposium serves as a crucial forum for sharing the latest research and strategies in rotavirus prevention.
Research and Development
The Sabin Vaccine Institute's research and development program is dedicated to prioritizing vaccine candidates for infectious diseases that are commercially nonviable, such as the Marburg and Ebola Sudan viruses. Their efforts are geared towards addressing significant public health threats by advancing vaccines for diseases that may not attract commercial interest but pose substantial risks globally.
Applied Epidemiology Program
The institute's Applied Epidemiology program collaborates with local researchers to gather and analyze data on infectious disease spread and the effects of new vaccines. This program aims to provide actionable insights that inform public health policies and vaccination strategies, enhancing the effectiveness of immunization campaigns in various regions.
