LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) applauds President Biden’s decision to share vital patented vaccine technologies with the world to bolster vaccine access in low- and middle-income countries. “Unlocking the monopoly on this lifesaving know-how will pave the way for generic manufacturing of mRNA vaccines and save millions of lives around the world,” said AHF President Michael Weinstein. Patents for manufacturing components of highly effective mRNA vaccines, which belong to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will be shared with the World Health Organization and the Medicines Patent Pool. AHF has been advocating for the sharing of COVID-19 technologies as part of its Vaccinate Our World campaign since early 2021.
