1 Paragraph: 35

Provide funding for diagnostic facilities and ensure focus on multiple vaccine technologies for pandemics

Recommendation
Should our successor Committee wish to further explore emerging diseases and learnings from covid-19, we recommend: • Funding should be made available for diagnostic facilities to uphold contracts, maintain equipment, and run laboratories to allow for fast and accurate diagnoses and aid the surveillance of emerging diseases; and • Ensure the UK Government focuses on multiple vaccine technologies for future pandemics and maintaining collaboration with academia and industry.
