Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework

The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework is a global plan created by the World Health Organization to improve how countries share influenza viruses with pandemic potential. Its goal is to ensure fair access to vaccines and medicines during a flu pandemic, benefiting both virus-sharing countries and those needing support. The framework encourages transparency, cooperation, and timely sharing of virus samples, strengthening worldwide response efforts. It aims to balance the interests of countries providing virus samples and those developing vaccines, ultimately helping the world better prepare for and respond to flu pandemics.
