Estimating the societal value of pandemic preparedness: the 100 day mission
Exploring the DAEDALUS model in vaccine research and development
CMMID seminar series. This event is jointly organized with GHECO.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations set the world the ambitious goal to put investments in place that allow the development and distribution of an effective vaccine within 100 days of a novel virus with pandemic potential being sequenced. The health and wider economic and social benefits of this investment may far exceed its costs, but are currently unknown.
CEPI instructed the Jameel Institute at Imperial to estimate the potential benefits of investments that drastically decrease the speed to market of a strain-specific vaccine after identification of a new sarbecovirus with pandemic potential, and of stockpiling a broadly protective sarbecovirus vaccine that would be available prior to the development of the SSV, and the impact of greater global vaccine equity. Using the integrated epidemiological-economic model DAEDALUS, we projected the health, economic and educational benefits of investments into vaccine R&D, manufacturing and deployment.
In her talk, Katharina will explain the modelling approach, and present some preliminary findings.
