The World Health Organisation has spotlighted 17 pathogens critical for vaccine development. Urgent vaccines are needed against diseases like malaria, HIV, tuberculosis and more.
A new World Health Organisation study published on Tuesday in eBioMedicine has named 17 pathogens that regularly cause diseases in communities as top priorities for new vaccine development.
According to the study, three diseases- HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis - claim nearly 2.5 million lives annually, reinforcing the need for continued vaccine research and development (R&D).
