CVB Mission
The Center for Veterinary Biologics regulates veterinary
biologics (vaccines, bacterins, antisera, diagnostic kits, and other

Act

to assure its customers that the veterinary biological products
available for use are of high quality
- encourages open communication with stakeholders
as new products and standards are developed
- promotes the use of quality assurance processes
that inherently result in the production of pure, safe, potent,
and effective veterinary biologics and diagnostics
- provides strong leadership in the development
and international harmonization of standards
for veterinary biological products
- maintains pharmacovigilance
by encouraging the reporting of adverse
events (unfavorable or unintended outcomes) occurring after
the use of a veterinary biological products.
The Center personnel are committed to teamwork,
