- Accelerate the identification of market solutions encouraging the development of new late-stage tuberculosis vaccines by launching an incentive mechanism, taking into account relevant issues such as national commitments, technology transfer, trade and intellectual property; and
- Accelerate rapid implementation and adoption of new tuberculosis vaccines by promoting and funding a comprehensive learning plan to support readiness, streamline regulatory processes and facilitate global access.
The council also agreed to convene a Tuberculosis Vaccine Funding Conference 2025 to launch late-stage product procurement and financing options towards timely and equitable access. Council members agreed to foster policy and technical dialogues through existing and new collaborations, such as working groups, in-country workshops and planned TB events to pave the way for the conference.
