The race is on to find a cure for the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and with it, there are many questions we must ask. With the speed that this vaccine comes to market, will it be safe? How will the many worldwide companies working on a vaccine get their regulatory data submitted securely to their regulatory bodies like the US FDA “Federal Drug Administration” for review? Stacks of paper documents, disk drives or through secure file transfer?
The FDA alone receives an average of 500,000 secure electronic submissions each month. Their Electronic Submissions Gateway is the central transmission point for the receiving and sending of information electronically to the FDA.

How does the FDA acknowledge receipt, route to the proper FDA office and notify these offices of delivery? Using the Axway eSubmissions solution.
