Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations
Hi there! Do you know what an epidemic is? It’s when a lot of people get sick with the same disease at the same time. When this happens, it’s important to be prepared so we can stop the disease from spreading even more.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is like a team of big doctors that work together to get ready for an epidemic. They want to make sure that if a new disease comes, we can make a vaccine to stop it quickly.
You know what a vaccine is right? It’s like a magic medicine that helps your body fight off a disease. So CEPI works to make sure that scientists can make these vaccines fast!
Sometimes, it can take years to make a vaccine, but CEPI wants to make it so we can do it in a few months. They do this by investing money into scientists who are working on new vaccines, and sharing information so we can learn from each other.
So why is this important? Well, if we are ready for an epidemic, and we can stop the disease from spreading, then less people will get sick and less people will die.
So that’s what CEPI does – they make sure we are ready for any bad germs that may come our way.
