3 reasons to focus on vaccine innovation When you don t When you do Impact
When you don t. Polio 1930
and polio 1950
When you do
2.5m lives saved annually from vaccination
Vaccine preventable diseases still offer the highest impact targets Global DALYs (2010) Malaria HIV/AIDS Diarrhoeal diseases Tuberculosis Bacterial pneumonia & meningitis Salmonella infections Helminth infections Rheumatic fever 83m 80m 66m 49m 38m 17m 12m 9m
Where are we today? The pipeline
The pipeline (2012) Number of candidates in Phase I/II Bacterial pneumonia and meningitis 4 Diarrhoeal diseases 12 HIV/AIDS 44 TB 13 Malaria 22 Helminth infections 1 Dengue 4 Salmonella infections 6 Number of candidates in Phase III Bacterial pneumonia and meningitis 1 Diarrhoeal diseases 4 HIV/AIDS 2 TB 1 Malaria 1 Helminth infections 1 Dengue 1
But we re now working on the toughest targets BUY old vaccines MMR, tetanus, diphtheria, polio, HiB ADAPT - recent vaccines for developing world use Pneumococcal, rotavirus, meningitis MAKE tough new targets HIV, TB, malaria, dengue
and it s a long road HIV vaccines all failed to date Frontrunner TB vaccine failed (MVA85A, 2013) Malaria vaccine - ~50% efficacy (RTS,S, 2013) Frontrunner dengue vaccine ~56% efficacy (Sanofi, 2012)

Australia and global health vaccine R&D
Australia has been absent Funding is highly concentrated Top 8 funder <=$5m Even so, Australia doesn t appear
.but is it changing? First product development funding (2013) $2.5m to TB vaccines from AusAID The 2014 budget Me
