WHO's first report on “ 2021 Bacterial vaccines in clinical and preclinical development: an overview and analysis” provides an analysis of vaccines in development, that have the potential to address drug resistance from priority antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pathogens.
The analysis provides data for the global R&D community to guide investments and research into feasible vaccines. The analysis also provides actionable information for decision-makers and could be used to inform policies including expansion of equitable access to vaccines, and other preventive and control measures where appropriate.
