Prof Fisher outlined essential pillars for a successful outbreak response, emphasizing the importance of them working synergistically. Furthermore, he stressed the significance of communication and community engagement in outbreak response, particularly when it comes to delivering messages on vaccinations to individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, drawing insights from the Singapore context.<\/p>\n<p>In his concluding remarks, Prof Fisher initiated a discussion on whether we are ready for the next pandemic. While acknowledging that there will always be challenges in various aspects of pandemic preparedness, he highlighted the potential benefits of having a system transitioning towards readiness, exemplified by initiatives like the CEPI 100-day vaccine mission. This goal set by CEPI aims to transform capacities to respond swiftly to emerging infectious diseases. By having vaccines ready within a shorter timeframe, we can potentially better equip ourselves to respond to future pandemics more effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the 1st APIC-ADVA Asia Pacific Summit on Infectious Diseases and Immunization, Professor Dale Fisher gave an address within Moderna&#8217;s symposium on the future of mRNA technology in tackling infectious diseases and preparing for the next pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29335,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-29318","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are we ready for the next pandemic? - Centre for Infectious Disease Emergency Response<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are we ready for the next pandemic?
