The World Health Organization (WHO) is organizing a special information-sharing webinar to update Civil Society and TB-affected communities on the vision and activities of the Finance and Access Working Group of the WHO TB Vaccine Accelerator Council.
Co-convened by WHO, the Government of South Africa, and Gavi – the Finance and Access Working Group recently released a new report that presents a first-of-its-kind analysis of the anticipated barriers, bottlenecks, and market dynamics that could impact timely, equitable, and sustainable access to novel TB vaccines. The report sets out the Working Group’s shared vision for equitable access to novel TB vaccines and identifies six urgently needed solutions to accelerate access and financing and highlights the roles of different stakeholders to support the implementation of these solutions.
