In early 2021, Ready2Respond conducted an extensive mapping of the current landscape of organizations and agencies working on global seasonal and/or pandemic vaccine preparedness. Performed during the COVID-19 vaccination deployment efforts, this research identifies key areas which may have contributed to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) not prioritizing seasonal influenza vaccination, or utilizing influenza vaccination programming as a blueprint for pandemic vaccine deployment preparedness despite a sustained WHO recommendation. This report provides recommendations for shoring up readiness to future respiratory pandemics, while elevating influenza preparedness as a public health priority in LMICs.
