CEPI’s vision is for the world to be able to respond to the next Disease X with a new vaccine in 100 days. Achieving that goal could defuse the threat of a pathogen with pandemic potential.
CEPI’s What Will it Take report outlines 5 areas of innovation needed to make delivery of pandemic vaccines within 100 days a reality.
CEPI wants to galvanise the development of new vaccines against diseases we know could cause the next devastating epidemic.
The estimated annual global cost of moderately severe to severe pandemics
The number of diseases WHO identified as public health risks due to epidemic potential and lack of biomedical countermeasures
The minimum average cost for progressing one vaccine against each of WHO’s 11 priority epidemic infectious diseases
CEPI (pronounced 'seppy') aims to accelerate the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases and enable access to these vaccines for people during outbreaks.
