About This Webinar
The Joint Chemical Engineering Committee (JCEC) Western Australia invites you to join them for this presentation on the development and manufacturing of vaccines in Australia.

It has been widely reported that Australia can end lockdowns and start to reopen to the world once 80 per cent of the population is vaccinated – and we may be able to get there by the end of the year, according to a new Grattan Institute report.

The WA JCEC has invited a group of experts to tell us more about COVID vaccines in Australia, including how they are developed and how we can more effectively deploy them in the fight against COVID19.
