Opportunities and challenges for the adoption of novel platform technologies to develop veterinary bacterial vaccines

This paper summarises the outcomes of a workshop held during the 13th International Veterinary Immunology Symposium (IVIS) in South Africa (November 2023), which explored the opportunities and challenges of using novel vaccine platform technologies for bacterial diseases. Discussions focused on how these platforms can support the development of affordable and effective vaccines, particularly for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and identified key research gaps and collaborative priorities to advance vaccine innovation within a One Health framework.
