Behind the Mission to Stop Viral Outbreaks Within 100 Days
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is working to prepare for future viral outbreaks by aiming to develop vaccines within 100 days of identifying a new pathogen. Current outbreaks, including hantavirus and Ebola, highlight the urgent need for improved global health preparedness. CEPI estimates that $2.5 billion is necessary to build the infrastructure required to respond effectively to future pandemics.
- ▪There are ongoing outbreaks of hantavirus and Ebola, with the latter already causing 131 deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- ▪CEPI was founded in 2017 to prevent the slow vaccine development seen during past outbreaks, such as Ebola.
- ▪The 100 days mission aims to create a system that can deliver vaccines within 100 days of a new pathogen's genome being sequenced.

No vaccines exist yet for either of these rare strains of already rare diseases.The world is underprepared for threats that are already here, global-health experts argue.
