Stakeholders from around the world and across all areas of TB vaccine research, development, and implementation gathered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 8-10 October 2024 for the 7th Global Forum on TB Vaccines, including a large contingent from affected communities and civil society. The program, driven by an overarching theme of “Driving innovation from discovery to access”, covered the full spectrum of research and development, from basic and discovery research to diversify the TB vaccine pipeline through clinical research, as well as strategies to ensure new TB vaccines reach the populations that most need them and to maximize the public health impact.
A Community Declaration for the 7th Global Forum on TB Vaccines, developed by the Community Engagement Committee in consultation with the global TB community, outlines the demands of TB-affected communities for the development and implementation of new TB vaccines. It was presented during the Opening Session of the 7th Global Forum (view video here). The declaration received 1,410 signatures from 1,143 individuals and 267 organizations representing 81 countries, and is currently being disseminated to key stakeholders and networks.
