1Day Sooner

The floodwaters brought by Hurricanes Helene and Milton have already done tremendous damage across the Southeast. In addition to the physical destruction, there’s another silent danger: the mosquitoes that will follow. Our latest op-ed stresses the need to develop medical countermeasures to avert needless illness and death exacerbated by global warming and climate change-induced weather events.

Little research has considered public attitudes toward human challenge trials and the various factors making a trial more or less acceptable. Empirical data on the attitudes of research personnel was also missing. A new 1 Day Sooner/Rethink Priorities paper in PLOS 1 shows the U.S. public suggests substantial support for using human challenge trials to develop new vaccines, new treatments, and knowledge about diseases, with similarly high support among research personnel.

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance's role is crucial: without international financing, low-income countries like South Sudan and the Central African Republic would find it difficult to afford enough doses for their populations. However, 1Day Africa’s work with health professionals across Africa has found that the timetable of Gavi’s operations creates significant delays in distributing #malaria vaccines, potentially costing thousands of lives. Our latest blog post explores the toll these delays cause and how Gavi should start allowing rolling submissions for funding applications: https://lnkd.in/eAmkhkxH.

🚨 Vaccine Misinformation: A Global Health Threat In our interconnected world, misinformation spreads faster than ever, particularly in healthcare. Our latest blog post (https://lnkd.in/eUHjJ6SS) highlights the critical issue of vaccine misinformation and its impact on public health: -During COVID-19, 50% of misinformation spread via social media -12 social platforms drove 65% of COVID-19 misinformation on social platforms -Misinformation led to a 6% decrease in vaccine acceptance in the US and UK These lessons are crucial as we face new challenges with malaria vaccine deployment in Africa. What strategies have you seen work well in combating health misinformation? #publichealth #malaria

The recent National Bureau of Economic Research paper "Can Operation Warp Speed Serve as a Model for Accelerating Innovations Beyond COVID Vaccines?" underscores the importance of a target product profile (TPP) for public funders when deciding which innovative projects to pursue. That's why we've released a TPP Playbook to help design and conduct a formalized and consensus-based TPP process. https://lnkd.in/gmdw_GD8
