Press Announcements

To provide a training opportunity for unexperienced staff and a discussion forum for experienced personnel on specific COVID-19 vaccine-related questions, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute, the German Federal Institute for Vaccines and Biomedicines and the ECA Academy jointly organise a two day workshop on the GMP Compliant Manufacturing of COVID-19 Vaccines.

So far, the GMP Journal has been an exclusive service for a limited circle of recipients. However, we have been repeatedly receiving requests to also make the journal available by subscription. For that reason the ECA now provides the GMP Journal to everybody interested.

Since the end of the comment period for the new Annex 1 on July 20, we have been frequently asked which comments have been submitted, where the ECA/EQPA Task Force thinks changes need to be made and when we expect a final version.

In the currrent times of controversial discussions many biopharmaceutical manufacturers are dealing with the question what test is best suitable for endotoxin and pyrogen testing.
