Summary
Five years on from COVID, a new report has found the world is even more vulnerable to new pandemics than it was before. The report, by a body linked to the World Health Organisation, has been released as the world grapples with Ebola and hantavirus outbreaks, as well as one of Australia's worst diphtheria outbreaks on record. The report found that, despite advances in vaccines and diagnostics, climate change, armed conflict and misinformation are undermining global preparedness. Today, Professor Sharon Lewin from the Doherty Institute, on the risk of a large-scale disease outbreak and what we should be doing to prepare for it.
