A look inside the new lab preparing against next pandemic

Cameras are given a rare glimpse inside Porton Down Labs in Wiltshire as the UK Health Security Agency opens its doors to its world-leading Vaccine Development and Evaluation Centre (VDEC).

Building on the Covid pandemic legacy, VDEC will help develop life-saving new vaccines for the UK and worldwide.

In particular, the centre will target pathogens for which a vaccine does not exist or is not regulated in the UK, or could be improved, such as avian influenza, Mpox or hantavirus, a severe infection that can pass from rodents to humans.
