100-day vaccine development – can it happen before the next pandemic? Dr Richard Hatchett, CEPI
Contain This: The Latest in Global Health Security
SARS has a mortality rate of 20-30 times of COVID. For the next pandemic what will we do? Head of the Centre Robin Davies talks with Richard Hatchett from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) about the work they are doing with the support of Australia and other countries to invest in research, production and distribution of vaccines to fight MERS, SARS and COVID. What are lessons for responding to emerging infectious diseases and the growing threat they pose to global health security?
“We're a little over a year and a half into our relationship with this virus, and we've already delivered according to WHO, somewhere on the order of three and a half billion doses of vaccine, which is miraculous. No one would have predicted, you know, by the middle of 2021, that 3.5 billion doses of vaccine would have would have been delivered...but it’s not fast enough.”

Strengthening Health Protection and Laboratory Capacity in Fiji with Dr Aalisha Sahu Khan and Professor Patrick Reading
Contain This: The Latest in Global Health Security
Today on the show, we have Aalisha Sahu Khan and Professor Patrick Reading. Aalisha is the Head of Health Protection at the Fiji Ministry of Health and Medical Services, where she oversees a broad portfolio that includes environmental health, health emergencies and climate change and communicable disease control. Patrick is a scientist and educator at the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza based at the Doherty Institute at the University of Melbourne.
In this episode, Patrick talks about the Doherty Institute’s partnership with The Pacific Community, SPC, to increase laboratory capacity in Pacific Island countries to test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.
In addition, SPC has been working with the WHO Joint Incident management Team lab cell and the Pacific Islands Society for Pathology have been working on a protocol whereby up to 4 or 6 samples could be tested in in a single GeneXpert cartridge to scale up testing. Patrick will give us an update on Doherty’s support for this development.
Aalisha reflects on the work that has gone into expanding the Fiji Centre for Disease Control's capacity to be able to test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and what having domestic capacity has meant for preparedness and response.
