Summary

This Lancet Infectious Diseases article covers CEPI's $3.5 billion 5-year strategic plan launched in 2021 to reduce pandemic and epidemic risks, building on COVID-19 vaccine development successes. CEPI prioritizes next-generation vaccines, rapid-response platform technologies for unknown 'Disease X' pathogens, and vaccines against known threats like filoviruses and Lassa fever. The initiative represents a major institutional commitment to pandemic preparedness infrastructure.

Key Points

  • •CEPI launched a $3.5 billion, 5-year strategic plan in March 2021 focused on pandemic and epidemic preparedness beyond COVID-19.
  • •Key priorities include rapid-response platform technologies capable of producing vaccines against unknown 'Disease X' pathogens within 100 days.
  • •CEPI funded early development of mRNA and adenovirus-vectored COVID-19 vaccines, demonstrating the value of advance investment in platform technologies.
  • •The plan targets vaccines for known epidemic threats including filoviruses (Ebola/Marburg) and Lassa fever alongside broader preparedness.
  • •Improved manufacturing, equitable global delivery, and next-generation vaccine formulations are central to CEPI's forward-looking strategy.
