Acceptability

Acceptability refers to meeting the policymakers, end-users, and health system requirements for a new TB vaccine for adults and adolescents. This  includes defining values from various populations, engaging communities as partners in decision-making, and having robust communication strategies in place. This follows from the WHO global framework for country introduction of new adolescent and adult TB vaccines (https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/who-global-framework-to-prepare-for-country-introduction-of-new-tb-vaccines-for-adults-and-adolescents)

An effective vaccine is only the first step: the need to create and sustain demand for TB vaccines

2023
Understanding public willingness to receive new TB vaccines, as well as defining how to address any barriers to acceptance, will be key to ensuring that the promise of these vaccines can be fully realized. Although we can learn from previous vaccine intro ductions, it is imperative we close key research gaps specific to new TB vaccines. This will inform the development of interventions to generate and sustain high demand for TB vaccines in communities that stand to benefit the most

TB vaccine advocacy fellowship

2023
An urgent call for increased global investment and political support for TB vaccine R&D. With the United Nations High-Level Meeting on TB taking place on 22 September 2023, this call will play an important part in amplifying the voices of the global TB community in demanding new TB vaccines. This letter is also in direct support of the recently launched call to action ‘Deadly Divide: Priorities to Close the Deadly Divide’ from the Stop TB Partnership community and non-governmental organization delegations.

What do people want?

Hypothetical vaccines
Investigate current TB prevention modalities vs vaccine. We lack understanding of preferences and trade offs people would be willing to make across a spectrum of issues related to study design, type of vaccines, how they are given, how often, where they are given, to whom, efficacy estimates and side effects etc.
