The Concordia College Global Vaccine Institute (CCGVI) was formally established in 2007, building upon an existing vaccine research initiative dating back to 2001. The CCGVI was founded in part to support and bolster the innovative and quickly developing vaccine industry in the Fargo-Moorhead area.
