National Biologic Coordinators Day 2023: November 1 is National Biologic Coordinators Day, and we are all set to celebrate this occasion with great enthusiasm. Although initiating and adhering to prescribed biological treatment can be challenging, patients experience minimal discomfort thanks to the assistance of biological coordinators. Their consistent assistance and ceaseless effort facilitate patients’ access to the prescribed biological treatments, ensuring that they receive the treatment that is so desperately required. Any member of the office staff of a medical practice who assists patients in traversing the process of obtaining prescribed biologic medications may serve as a biologic coordinator.
National Biologic Coordinators Day History
Exciting advancements occurred in the field of biological research throughout the globe during the 19th century. Robert Koch conducted research and successfully isolated the microbes that cause cholera, anthrax, rabies, and tuberculosis. By investigating the microorganisms responsible for decomposition and fermentation, Louis Pasteur created the first laboratory vaccine to protect poultry from chicken cholera. Theobald Salmon, an American bacteriologist, and Edmund Salmon were the originators of the heat-killed vaccine concept.
The necessity for regulation, standardization, and quality control of newly developed biological products became apparent in the wake of this research. However, these measures were not put into effect until a five-year-old girl passed away in the hospital from tetanus she contracted after prophylactic administration of diphtheria antitoxin derived from a horse with tetanus. The subsequent demise of nine additional children in New Jersey due to the tainted smallpox vaccine necessitated the implementation of stringent regulations for emergent biological products.
The Biologics Control Act, signed by Theodore Roosevelt on July 1, 1902, compulsory annual licensing for establishments engaged in the production or sale of vaccines, serums, antitoxins, and analogous items. The responsibility for contemporary federal regulation of biological products fell upon the Hygienic Laboratory of the Marine Hospital Service and the Department of Public Health. Following the establishment of the National Institutes of Health from the Hygenic Laboratory in 1972, the F.D.A. assumed the regulatory authority that had previously been vested in the NIH.
