Civil Society Information Session: Finance and Access Working Group of the WHO TB Vaccine Accelerator Council – Materials Now Available Online

3 June 2025

On 28 May 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) organized a special information-sharing webinar to update civil society and TB-affected communities on the vision and activities of the Finance and Access Working Group of the WHO TB Vaccine Accelerator Council.

Co-convened by WHO, Gavi and the Government of South Africa, the Finance and Access Working Group was established in February 2025 to promote timely and equitable global access to affordably priced new TB vaccines. The working group coordinates efforts across governments, partners, financing institutions, private sector, and civil society to propose strategic partnerships, financing and procurement mechanisms, and market access solutions, with a particular focus on speeding up vaccine availability and access for high TB-burden countries.

Recording of the session and slides presented are now available online and can be accessed here.
