Why Are Vaccines Taking Longer Than They Should?

Source: https://www.reveliolabs.com/blog/p9emh1g6gslppqbyz0erofr14f1qdg

There has been tremendous speculation about when a COVID-19 vaccine will be ready and what pharmaceutical companies will be involved in the manufacturing and distribution. It would be hard to find anyone whose well-being would not be dramatically improved by a vaccine.

By looking into the skills of scientists at major pharma companies, we’re able unearth a surprising trend that skills related to vaccines have been on a long-term decline since 2011, a trend that has only recently started to reverse.

And yet, below is the subset of scientists with skills in vaccines:

Takeaways:

  • Skills in vaccines have fallen from a previous peak in November 2011 by over 17%, a time when overall scientists have increased by 25%.
  • Of the top pharma companies, there are only three companies with significant vaccine teams: Pfizer, GSK, and Merck, while many other large pharma companies have not invested in vaccine research.
  • Vaccines are somewhat of a niche area compared to many other priorities. For example, there are about 15,000 scientists across these companies skilled in vaccines, compared to about 50,000 for oncology research.
