Preparing for the Inevitable
2023 brings no shortage of challenges - the ongoing pandemic emergency was declared over (but the pandemic continues), a highly pathogenic bird flu outbreak is spreading, and tuberculosis cases are on the rise. AAHI is proud to support the development of next-generation vaccines that enable efficient and effective protection against diseases, including bird flu and TB, that can be equitably accessed world-wide.

IN THE NEWS
By Gail Dutton
Leaps.Org
Researchers are studying novel formulations of vaccines to improve the stability of vaccine drug products and reduce the cold chain requirements necessary to transport, store, and distribute currently available vaccines. Tardigrades, microscopic eight-legged creatures also known as water bears, produce a sugar called trehalose that is a key component of stabilizing vaccine ingredients so that the vaccine can remain stable at ambient temperatures.
Dr. Christopher Fox, AAHI's Senior Vice President of Formulations, discusses the costly cold chain and the vaccine access challenges it creates with Gail Dutton at Leaps.org.
