  • Britain needs a "peacetime vaccine task force" to prepare for the next pandemic, ministers have been warned amid concerns the government risks forgetting the lessons of Covid -19. The government's Science and Technology Committee has also called for the government to appoint a chief vaccines officer to help prepare the country for future threats.

The article from AOL discusses the urgent need for Britain to establish a vaccine taskforce to prepare for future pandemics. It highlights the lessons learned from the global response to the COVID-19 crisis, emphasizing the importance of rapid vaccine development and distribution. The piece mentions that experts, including former members of the UK's Vaccine Taskforce, argue for a permanent body to oversee not just vaccine development but also the entire process from research to rollout. This taskforce would ensure that the UK can respond more effectively to future health threats by maintaining readiness, fostering innovation, and securing supply chains. The article also touches on the political and economic benefits of such an initiative, suggesting that proactive measures could prevent the severe disruptions caused by pandemics and bolster the UK's position in global health security.
