🚨💉 Vaccine equity requires an ecosystem that supports sustainable local manufacturing capacity.

📓 The knowledge is there.

💶 What is needed now is bold political will and the financing to make it happen.

In this week’s @TheLancet, @okaars and I explain how.

[Ole Kristian Aars @okaars]

Three years ago, @nschwalbe and I wrote an article on increasing efficiency in vaccine production. Despite progress, much remains. In this correspondance, we identify three immediate actions to facilitate a more equitable production ecosystem. https://t.co/InMgqjB4Sh

[Nina Schwalbe, PhD @nschwalbe]

@peoplesvaccine In August 2021, we proposed solutions to address barriers and speed equitable vaccine access - focusing on tech transfer, IP access and regulatory strengthening.

Building on lessons learned from COVID-19, it's time for action.
