How is BactiVac supporting LMICs?
🌱Through catalyst project & training awards, empowering LMICs to lead #vaccine innovation & building capacity.
Reducing #AMR starts with equitable access to research opportunities.
#WAAW @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org
Why does🌍global collaboration matter?
#AMR is a worldwide challenge. BactiVac unites >2,400 members across 92 countries with 52% based in LMICs.
🤝Together we’re accelerating bacterial #vaccine development.
#WAAW #AMR @wellcometrust.bsky.social @britsocimm.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org
Why do vaccines matter in the fight against #AMR?
💉 #Vaccines prevent infections → fewer antibiotics → slower resistance
BactiVac supports global research to develop vaccines against high-burden bacterial pathogens.
🎧 Listen to BactiVac Director sharing his insights: bit.ly/ACHStalk
🌍#AMR is one of the greatest global health threats of our time.
At @bactivac.bsky.social, we believe #vaccines are a powerful tool to prevent bacterial infections, reducing antibiotic use.
