The Food and Drug
Administration's Center
for Biologics Evaluation
and Research,
commonly called CBER,
is a national regulatory
authority in the United States
responsible
for assuring quality,
safety, and effectiveness,
of all human medical products
including vaccines
for human use.
Vaccines are
evaluated in CBER's
Office of Vaccines
Research Review.
The Office of Vaccines
Research Review is composed
of two laboratory-based
research divisions,
the Division of
Bacterial, Parasitic
and Allergenic Products,
and the Division
of Viral Products.
And there is also
an applications division
commonly called
the Division of Vaccines
and Related
Products Applications
where the clinical review
of vaccine applications occurs.
