An expert has warned that staff will not have the “skills or experience” to perform the assembly required in a new technique for vaccine and pharmaceutical product distribution, called Point of Care (PoC) manufacturing.
The PoC process allows some hospitals and other permitted “points of care” to assemble or prepare vaccines and other treatments on-site, after the raw material is shipped to the distribution points. This became a widespread practice in the UK during the COVID-19 roll out of mRNA treatments.
