New TB jabs in the pipeline have the potential of becoming the “next blockbuster immunisation tool”, said Sania Nishtar, head of the Gavi global vaccine alliance. “However, they will only realise their potential if we are able to ensure sufficient, predictable and affordable supply for those countries with the highest disease burden,” she said in a statement.
