Boosting Ebola Preparedness with Diversified Vaccine Technologies

This title was summarized by AI from the post below.

This is worth a read - especially as Ebola is now regularly in the headlines. There are innovative vaccines platforms that address some of the key concerns by some about past vaccines. The article makes important points for policymakers to consider as they discuss the best ways to boost preparedness, encourage vaccine innovations, promote transparency while respecting the physician-patient relationship. Excerpt: "America’s biodefense strategy should therefore encourage a diversified portfolio of vaccine technologies, including next-generation adenoviral systems being advanced in leading academic and biotechnology laboratories today. The goal is not to replace mRNA science, but to avoid becoming overly dependent upon it. The world already knows adenovirus-based Ebola vaccines can work. The next question is whether modernized versions can work even better. Before the next outbreak grows larger, policymakers should make sure that question receives urgent attention." https://lnkd.in/eYs8QkgM
