100-day vaccine development – can it happen before the next pandemic? Dr Richard Hatchett, CEPI
08/10/21 • 26 min
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.”

Indonesia is currently suffering another wave of COVID-19, in addition to 10 other major infectious diseases. In this episode we talk with Eka Wulan Cahyasari from the Indonesian Red Cross Society about how, with the support of the Centre, they are drawing upon existing pandemic preparedness tools and influential community volunteer networks to support surveillance, vaccine hesitancy programs and community resilience in the face of challenging times in Indonesia.

Covid-19 and V-RESIST in Vietnam
Welcome to Contain This, brought to you by the Indo-Pacific Centre for Health Security, an initiative of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This episode is hosted by Francette Dusan, Senior Advisor at the Centre.
In today’s episode, we speak to Dr Thu Anh Nguyen. Dr Thu Anh Nguyen is an infectious diseases and public health researcher. Her research focuses on detection and treatment of tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and more recently, Covid-19. You may recall we spoke to Thu Anh a year ago, about her work on V-Resist, a project addressing antimicrobial resistance in Vietnam. If you haven’t already, I suggest you pause now, and scroll back to August 2020 to listen to the previous podcast. You can find more information on V-Resist here:

Today we catch up on Thu Anh’s work supporting the Covid-19 response in Vietnam, and how the response has intersected with other work on infectious diseases including tuberculosis. We chat about research partnerships, how these can work to generate evidence to inform country priorities and some of the lesson’s Thu Anh has learnt about leadership and communication.
You can join the conversation via our social media channels. You can connect with us on Twitter via @CentreHealthSec and @AusAmbRHS.
Enjoy the episode.
