The PrIMAVeRa project, aiming to demonstrate the value of vaccines against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), was represented by Federica Toffalini from GSK, Irina Meln from European Vaccine Initiative (EVI), and Zainab Blattmann-Mahdi from Pfizer. Each project presented recent project outputs and impacts. PrIMAVeRa updated about the successful publication of 3 systematic reviews and discussed the findings from them, recent progress in model development and highlighted difficulties and plans for data collection.

 

Meeting highlights

Each project presented recent project outputs and impacts, and participated in discussions with representatives of other projects under the AMR Accelerator umbrella.  



A useful resource was shared during the ScientificInterest Group “Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: from Global Influences to Local Engagement”. Nathalie Seigneuret from IHI shared the latest guidelines on how to best interact with regulators from a public-private partnership umbrella in her presentation: “Engaging with regulators | IHI Innovative Health Initiative (europa.eu)”.

Damiano De Felice from CARB-X presented on another important topic: “How Push and Pull incentives contribute to antimicrobial innovations to address AMR”.

The PrIMAVeRa project team is grateful to the COMBINE team for organising a dynamic meeting and look forward to attending next year.
