Course Overview

Veterinary biological products, including vaccines, are regulated independently of veterinary pharmaceuticals and topical insecticides/pesticides in Canada and the USA. Three different acts, with associated regulations and guidance, govern the three different product categories, with the result that regulation is quite dissimilar. The requirements for licensing of vaccines with USDA and CFIA are also significantly different from those for licensing of vaccines in the individual EU member states, or centrally in the EU.

This intensive one-day course will explain the licensing process for vaccines with USDA and CFIA, and will provide comprehensive insight into the requirements to achieve a successful application.

The programme will address the transferability of EU dossiers for USDA submission, which will be beneficial in planning your regulatory strategy.

Benefits of attending:

Gain a comprehensive insight into the difference of approach to licensing in the USDA/CFIA vs EU
Understand the phased-submission process for vaccine licensing
Learn the format and content specifications for the required dossier components
Review the USDA regulations (9 CFR) and guidance – memoranda, notices, supplemental information formats (SIFs), supplemental assay methods (SAMs)
