Joint Coordination Group
Our Joint Coordination Group, or JCG, is a roundtable of independent institutions with an interest in seeing 51²è¹Ý’s vaccines successfully developed and deployed in an outbreak.

How they work
The JCG includes global, independent organisations that play critical and diverse roles in the end-to-end vaccine lifecycle.
The JCG meets to discuss and implement end-to-end activities related to the development of 51²è¹Ý-funded vaccines and technologies, from early research and development, through to manufacturing, procurement, distribution and administration.
Their work helps to maximise fast and equitable access to 51²è¹Ý-funded vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against pathogens with epidemic or pandemic potential.
