E-mail: [email protected] Infectious diseases still jeopardize human health and even lives. In spite of the variety of advanced treatment methods, prevention is considered to be the most effective way to fight infections, and vaccination, no doubt, is one of the most effective preventive measures in the history of mankind. The vaccine controversy is based on a dispute over morality, ethics, effectiveness, and/or safety. There is no 100% safe or effective vaccine; however, benefits clearly overweigh risks. Ironically, as the numbers of cases of vaccine- preventable infectious diseases are falling, the controversies relating to vaccine safety are growing. Vaccines are generally victims of their own success. Controversies can afflict the positive acceptance of immunization, decrease the coverage and uptake and finally threaten the health of children and adults. The advent of vaccination has proven to be one of the most effective preventive measures in the history of medicine. Vaccines play a significant role in the prevention of debili- tating and, in many cases, life-threatening infectious diseases. Vaccines also provide important benefits in terms of reducing or avoiding costs associated with illness, both direct and indirect. In spite of the absence of any kind of ideal global healthcare system and lack of resources, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) were able, in 1974, to establish a major global project called the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI).

Methods: Infants born to HBsAg seronegative mothers and who had not received a hepatitis B vaccine prior to entry into the study were randomized to receive either Hexaxim™ (Group 1) or Infanrix hexa® (Group 2) at 2, 4, 6 months of age. Seroprotection (SP) rate for hepatitis B (anti-HBs antibody concentration ≥10 mIU/mL) was analysed for non-inferiority (Group 1 minus Group 2) 1 month post-primary series. Anti-diphtheria and anti-polyrosil ribitol phosphate (PRP) antibody responses were analysed descriptively. Safety was analysed from parental reports. Results: Seroprotection rate for anti-HBs antibody titers ≥10 mIU/mL was high in both groups (≥99.2%) and non-inferiority was demonstrated (lower bound of the 95% CI for the difference was -4.17, above the pre-defined delta [-10%]).

  • Improving the Regulatory Response to Vaccine Development During a Public Health Emergency
    Every Minute Matters: Improving the Regulatory Response to Vaccine Development During a Public Health Emergency RASHMI BORAH* ABSTRACT In recent months, our lives have been turned upside down by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency. With no cure or vaccine in sight, millions of people have contracted the virus, and the death toll has surpassed that of World War I in a fraction of the time. In fact, the past decade has been marked by a series of highly publicized public health emergencies, including the devastating Ebola and Zika virus global outbreaks. Some of this panic arose from a failure to manufacture and distribute vaccines in a timely fashion. This failure occurred despite having several viable vaccine candidates, adequate funding, and strong public support for the vaccines. This Article explains how these failures are the consequence of a complex network of existing regulatory pathways and insufficient incentives to produce affordable vaccinations during a public health emergency. Fortunately, there are several ways that both the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration can improve and streamline the process of patenting, approving, manufacturing, and distributing a vaccination. The last decade has demonstrated that public health emergencies occur quickly, and affected communities cannot afford the delays and mishaps that characterized the vaccine response to COVID-19, Ebola, and Zika. This Article explores three ways to facilitate the development and distribution of vaccinations during a public health emergency. First, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office can establish a dedicated public health emergency patent pathway for vaccine technology developed specifically in response to a public health emergency.

  • Gavi's Role in Market Shaping and Procurement
    CGD NOTE Jun 2019 Gavi’s Role in Market Shaping and Procurement: Progress, Challenges, and Recommendations for an Evolving Approach Janeen Madan Keller, Amanda Glassman INTRODUCTION Market shaping and procurement constitute a core approach to achieve Gavi’s mission to accelerate access to and increase equitable coverage of vaccines.1 Gavi drives lower prices and ensures the supply of high-quality vaccines through a range of tools such as pooling demand with assured funding, of- fering multi-year contracts, and encouraging new suppliers to enter the market, among others.2 Gavi has made notable progress, including securing a sustainable and affordable supply of pentavalent, pneumococcal conjugate (PCV), and rotavirus vaccines;3 expanding and diversifying the manufac- turer base;4 and developing demand forecasts to give manufacturers longer-term market visibility.5 These efforts have no doubt provided benefits to Gavi-supported countries, and they have also had some positive spillovers in Gavi-ineligible countries. Yet several challenges—stemming in part from countries transitioning from Gavi support and an evolving vaccine manufacturer landscape—may impede Gavi’s ability to effectively deliver on its mis- sion in the future. The next five-year strategy (Gavi 5.0) is an opportunity to evolve—and possibly broaden—Gavi’s role in market shaping and procurement. Looking ahead, Gavi will need to more carefully assess the implications of its market shaping strategies beyond Gavi-supported countries— and consider ways to potentially extend its benefits to the entire universe of low- and middle-income 1 See the accompanying note in this series, “Gavi’s Approach to Health Systems Strengthening (HSS): Reforms for Enhanced Effectiveness and Relevance in the 2021-2025 Strategy,” which focuses on delivery platforms to ensure those vaccines reach their target populations—another key pillar of Gavi’s vaccine support.
