"Responding to outbreaks tomorrow is about preparing today." #ph260720 #pandemicpreparedness

Do you think the US should invest more funds to preparing for future pandemics? #ph260720 #pandemicpoll

Every time there's been an outbreak around the world, there's been a large investment in trying to mitigate and eliminate these threats. But we need to invest for the future, where we could face something worse. #ph260720 #preparedness

According to @fibke, vaccine equity is an enormous problem, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. #ph260720 #vaccineequity pandem-ic.com/share-of-popul…

We must increase international surveillance, manufacturing capability, and global delivery of vital vaccine distribution supplies and staff to areas. Coordination is key. #ph260720 #pandemicpreparedness

@DrTomFrieden is right. Donations aren't enough to fill the gaps. Technology transfer hubs would greatly benefit the low- and middle-income countries to catch up to the high-income countries with higher vaccination rates. news.un.org/en/story/2021/… #ph260720 #techtransfer

With competing priorities, how can we ensure that high-income countries with a higher vaccination rates commit to helping other countries while protecting its own citizens? #ph260720 #pandemic

With @WHO initiatives like COVAX, which coordinates global vaccine distribution from private funders and donations from countries, mRNA vaccine tech transfer hubs would boost production and access. #ph260720 #techtransfer downtoearth.org.in/blog/africa/co…

How important are global partnerships in eradicating this pandemic? #ph260720 #globalpartnerships

Only through global partnerships can we begin to truly be prepared to deal with future pandemics. The investment in domestic and international preparedness efforts will be crucial moving forward. #ph260720 #pandemicpreparedness
