The Advocate’s Guide provides plain-language explanations of the necessary components for equitable COVID-19 vaccine access to help inform and support advocates.
Advocate’s Guide To COVID-19 Vaccine Access
Public Comment from Mitchell Warren, Executive Director, AVAC At the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) Meeting
Comments made by Mitchell Warren to the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) Meeting on October 22, 2020 about COVID-19 vaccine development and use authorization.
Regulatory Approval Primer for Vaccine Advocates
The difference between speed and cutting corners can be one of life or death for individuals, and of impact versus impasse for societies. Advancing a vaccine candidate without peer-reviewed research results and thorough regulatory review can also undermine confidence in public institutions and vaccines generally. Global health advocates have an essential role to play as watchdogs of the regulatory systems that have worked well for decades, but may be vulnerable to global pressure for a vaccine and the current politicization of science.

This set of slides offers advocates a view of the funders, platforms, research phase and considerations for some of the front-runner candidates.
Advocates’ Guide: The risks and benefits of expedited COVID-19 vaccine research
This guide highlights the strategies being implemented to shorten the COVID-19 vaccine development timeline and the benefits, risks and key takeaways for each.
Cheat Sheet: COVID-19 Vaccine Pipeline
This three-pager offers advocates an at-a-glance view of the funders, platforms, research phase and considerations for some of the front-runner candidates.
A Global Pandemic Requires an Unprecedented Response
Meeting the ambitious timelines for a COVID-19 vaccine will require an unprecedented multi-faceted, coordinated global response including governments, industry, academic researchers, delivery partners, donors and civil society. This graphic represents the pillars of this landscape — with those organizations mentioned by name representing just a small fraction of the growing number of contributors in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Race for a Coronavirus Vaccine
Will compressed and overlapping steps get a vaccine faster?
This graphic compares a conventional timeline for vaccine development, anticipating a COVID-19 vaccine available by May 2036, versus the accelerated goal of developing, producing and distributing a vaccine much, much faster. Excerpted from Five “P”s to Watch.
Five “P”s to Watch
HIV vaccine research is making the search for a COVID-19 vaccine faster, safer and more inclusive. The global COVID-19 response evolves by the day—seemingly, even, by the minute—as the world has watched the tally of experimental diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines tick up into the hundreds. If researchers achieve their goal of making the search for a COVID-19 vaccine the fastest vaccine development effort in history, much of that success will be due to the research knowledge, vaccine platforms, trial networks and community engagement models created through HIV vaccine research.
