CEPI launches five-year plan to accelerate vaccine development and combat future epidemics

CEPI launched a new five-year plan, CEPI 3.0, to combat future epidemic and pandemic threats. The plan seeks $2.5 billion in funding to accelerate vaccine development. The strategy aims to develop vaccines against known and emerging threats within 100 days of detection. It also focuses on building rapid-response platforms and strengthening global networks for swift action. CEPI 3.0 builds on CEPI's previous work, including its role in the COVAX initiative. The plan emphasizes equity in vaccine access and aims to prevent significant global economic damage from future outbreaks.
