Several promising tuberculosis (TB) vaccine candidates are in late-stage clinical trials and have the potential to accelerate the global community’s efforts to curb and ultimately end the disease. But vaccines can only save lives and prevent transmission if they are widely used, making preparation for the rollout of a TB vaccine critical. SMART4TB is proud to introduce the TB vaccine preparedness repository, which will facilitate coordination of research taking place on adult and adolescent TB vaccine preparedness.
The repository tracks completed, ongoing, and planned projects from across the globe, focusing on research that examines preparation for a new TB vaccine. The repository is updated semi-annually, with stakeholders reporting on ongoing and planned projects. If you would like to be added to this list, or have projects to add to the repository, or a question, please contact Joeri Buis at joeri.buis@kncvtbc.org.
