Investment toolbox to advance TB vaccine development through joint action
The G20 includes many countries with a high burden of TB and is uniquely positioned to lead TB vaccine development and delivery through joint, sustained, and scaled-up investments. A policy brief outlines recommendations for G20 members to act together to accelerate TB vaccine development. At least one new TB vaccine must be licensed and approved by 2025 to meet the World Health Organization’s goal of ending TB by 2030.

Member States must commit to invest in TB vaccine R&D
The TB Vaccine Advocacy Roadmap (TB Vax ARM) developed a one-pager on why Member States must commit to invest in TB vaccine research and development (R&D). It provides relevant background information on the critical need for Member States to substantially increase adequate, predictable, and sustainable financing for TB vaccine research to reach the annual $1.25 billion funding target and develop and roll-out new TB vaccines within the next five years, no later than 2028.
