Avian flu, Mpox and Ebola outbreaks are a continuous reminder of our vulnerability to infectious diseases. Rapid vaccine development is the cornerstone for control of global infection outbreaks and eradication efforts. For COVID19, vaccines were developed within one year. Yet for many infectious diseases vaccines are not on the horizon and development pathways take much longer. Given the importance of vaccines for global health, we ask the question who is responsible for developing vaccines that can protect us from the next pandemic? What innovations are needed to make sure we will all stay safe?
