CEPI has backed the development of over 75 vaccine candidates and vaccine platforms. We have overseen scientific breakthroughs, including the first-ever approved Chikungunya vaccine, and advancing the first-ever Nipah and Lassa fever vaccine into Phase II trials. A key player in the COVID-19 response, CEPI also has one of the world’s largest COVID-19 vaccine portfolios and co-led COVAX, which helped to distribute nearly 2 billion doses to 146 nations.
