The rapid development of equitably accessible vaccines is paramount in addressing emerging global health challenges. The safety and efficacy of vaccines hinge significantly on their ability to remain stable from manufacturing throughout the supply chain and up to administration. Furthermore, the release of vaccines requires sufficient understanding of the stability profile to allow for expiration dating. In the event of a public health crisis, the time to generate the necessary stability data and the need for rapid product release are in direct opposition. Developing manufacturing platforms with thermostable product formulations for rapid response is therefore key to meeting CEPI's 100 Days Mission goal. This Review aims to highlight the need for stability preparedness through developing thermostable vaccine platforms and exploring innovative stability monitoring strategies that leverage advanced technologies, predictive modelling, and adaptive methodologies. By doing so, we seek to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of stability assessments, supporting rapid development, regulatory approval, and widespread, equal distribution of vaccines-especially in an outbreak scenario. Finally, enhanced thermostability will allow for simplification across the supply chain, which will reduce the financial burden of vaccination programmes and enhance equitable access.

Vaccines and diagnostic tools stand out as among the most influential advancements in public health, credited with averting an estimated 6 million deaths annually and substantially alleviating the burden of infectious disease. Despite this progress, the global imperative to prevent, detect, and combat infectious disease persists. Regrettably, hundreds of thousands of lives are still lost due to inadequate access to vaccines and diagnostics.

Introduction: Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is an emerging zoonotic RNA virus that can cause severe acute encephalitis with high mortality. Currently, there are no effective countermeasures, and the potential risk of a future outbreak requires urgent attention. To address this challenge, the complete genome sequence of BoDV-1 was utilized, and immunoinformatics was applied to identify antigenic peptides suitable for vaccine development.

Introduction: In today's societies, the threats caused by chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear accidents, whether accidental or intentional, have become a great concern. Acquiring knowledge about how to respond to the management of these incidents and the complications caused by them in order to preserve societies and ensure stability is essential. Due to the fact that hospitals play an important role in dealing with the victims of biological threats, this study was conducted with the aim of auditing the preparedness of selected military Hospital in facing biological threats in 2023-2024.
