100 Days

What if it took 100 days to make a safe and effective vaccine against any virus?

CEPI and the UK Government recently hosted the Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit to explore how we can respond to the next “Disease X”, by making safe, effective vaccines within 100 days.

What will it take for the world to develop, and enable access to safe and effective vaccines against new pathogens in 100 days? And why is it crucial that the world achieves this 100 Days Mission?

Getting to 100 Days

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a vaccine could take 10 years or more to develop.

That changed in response to SARS-CoV-2: the world rallied together and managed to produce a safe and effective vaccine in just 326 days.

However, if we could have compressed vaccine development timelines to 100 days, millions of lives could have been saved and trillions of dollars of economic damage could have been averted.

Achieving the 100 Days Mission would give the world a fighting chance of containing a future outbreak before it spreads to become a global pandemic.

CEPI has an ambitious $3.5 billion equitable-access focussed R&D plan that will help the world create safe and effective vaccines in 100 days…

Disease surveillance networks

International viral surveillance networks will need to be established that can alert global authorities to emerging epidemic threats and swiftly share genetic and disease information to trigger vaccine development.

Prototype vaccine library

The world must produce a library of prototype vaccines and other biological interventions against the viral families known to infect people. This will enable rapid adaptation of these prototype vaccines for clinical testing and evaluation of safety and effectiveness.

Rapid-response vaccine technology

Rapid response technologies must be developed, which can be quickly adapted to develop vaccines against the next Disease X.

Boosting vaccine manufacturing

Global manufacturing capacity needs to be in place, particularly in lower income countries. New approaches to manufacturing need to be advanced to produce vaccines at the speed and scale needed to stamp out a pandemic threat.

Trial and regulatory procedures

A global network of clinical trial sites, labs, and a globally agreed set of “rules” for trials in a pandemic situation needs to be established. These trial approaches will help to streamline data sharing and vaccine approvals by regulators.

The world must urgently work together to outpace emerging viral threats. If we unite across countries and across the public and private sectors, we can make pandemics a thing of the past. Join us.
