the procurement, distribution or use of any product included in any of these landscape documents.
The vaccine candidates listed here are currently in the pre-clinical phase of research and development. When the vaccine progresses from pre-clinical to clinical phase and the study of the vaccine is registered in a clinical trial database that can be publicly accessed, it will then appear in the clinical list of the WHO landscap
