    Abstract Six of the top ten leading causes of death in low resource settings could potentially be prevented by vaccination. Development of vaccines for individuals in these populations is difficult because of the biological complexity of the prevalent pathogens and the challenges inherent to development of any vaccine. This review discusses those challenges and promising advances to address them and highlights recent progress in development of vaccines against several pathogens of interest.

    Abstract Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants. Most deaths occur in infants under 3 months old, and those living in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). There are no maternal or infant RSV vaccines currently approved. An RSV monoclonal antibody (mAb) could fill the gap until vaccines are available. It could also be used when a vaccine is not given, or when there is insufficient time to vaccinate and generate an antibody response. The only currently approved RSV mAb, palivizumab, is too costly and needs monthly administration, which is not possible in LMICs. It is imperative that a safe, effective, and affordable mAb to prevent severe RSV LRTI be developed for infants in LMICs. Next generation, half-life extended mAbs in clinical development, such as nirsevimab, show promise in protecting infants against RSV LRTI. Given that a single dose could cover an entire 5-month season, there is an opportunity to make RSV mAbs affordable for LMICs by investing in improvements in manufacturing efficiency. The challenges of using RSV mAbs in LMICs are the complexities of integrating them into existing healthcare delivery programs and surveillance systems, both of which are needed to define seasonal patterns, and monitor for escape mutants. Collaboration with key stakeholders such as the World Health Organization and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, will be essential for achieving this goal.

    Abstract The Centre of Regulatory Excellence (CoRE) launched an annual lecture series in 2021 in Singapore to honor the memory of the late Professor Sir Alasdair Breckenridge, CoRE's founding Chair, and foster dialogue on global biomedical and regulatory perspectives, challenges, and advances. The 2022 Sir Alasdair Breckenridge Lecture "Success and Opportunities in the Pandemic" was delivered by Dr Penny M Heaton, former CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Research Institute and current Global Therapeutics Lead for Vaccines at Johnson & Johnson. Dr Heaton highlighted key lessons on the importance of trust, collaboration, and transparency in the context of health care and vaccine production.
