Control Vaccine
Preparedness
• Global surveillance to detect the next pandemic early
• Plan for different types of disease and diseases affecting different populations
• Do our homework on how to make vaccines for different families of bacteria and viruses
• Develop strategies to make and test vaccines faster when a pandemic comes
• Invest in the training of people who will do the stuff that we will need to fight the next pandemic
