Abstract

This Action Framework identifies priority actions to prevent antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) through expanding the use of licensed vaccines, developing new vaccines that contribute to the prevention and control of AMR, and expanding knowledge about the impact of vaccines on AMR.

Cited by

• Available evidence and potential for vaccines for reduction in antibiotic prescriptions

Discussions

• 🔬 Scientific reviews show that preventing infections through vaccination leads to fewer antibiotic prescriptions and less pressure for resistance. 📄 Vekemans et al., 2021 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/cid/... [bsky, 1 points, 1 comments]
