During the meeting, virologist Yahia Chebloune presented the project's objectives, the progress of preparations, and the research areas planned in partnership with the Saidal group. The project aims to meet the national market's needs for human and veterinary vaccines, enhancing Algeria's autonomy in this strategic area.
