COVID-19 has brought the world to its knees. Now is the moment to unite and break the cycle of panic and neglect that has characterised our response to epidemic and pandemic disease. CEPI has a $3.5 billion plan of action to substantially reduce global epidemic and pandemic risk.
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.
