Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework

The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework for the sharing of influenza viruses and access to vaccines and other benefits ("PIP Framework") brings together Member States, industry, other key stakeholders and WHO to implement a global, Member State developed approach to pandemic influenza preparedness and response. The PIP Framework aims to improve the sharing of influenza viruses with pandemic potential, and to achieve more predictable, efficient, and equitable access for countries in need, to life saving vaccines and medicines during future pandemics.

The PIP Framework became effective on 24 May 2011 when it was adopted by the Sixty-fourth World Health Assembly.
