NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While significant scientific and medical advances have been made in the fight against COVID-19, the virus remains a major public health threat. The global response has been fraught with challenges such as widespread misinformation about the disease and vaccines, vaccine hesitancy, and inequitable access to treatments and vaccines. Each country has responded differently, and often inadequately, revealing a worrisome lack of coordination and clear goals.

Key Points: 
  • Each country has responded differently, and often inadequately, revealing a worrisome lack of coordination and clear goals.
  • The 57 recommendations encompass six major areas to address this public health threat: communications, health systems, vaccination, prevention, treatment and care, and inequities.
  • The experts emphasize the need for significant efforts to improve health communications, rebuild public trust, combat misinformation, and engage communities directly in the management of this and future public health emergency responses.
  • "With this consensus, we make unique, practical proposals to end COVID-19 as a public health threat now and lay a solid groundwork to address large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease, reducing the burden on society, especially vulnerable populations, over time."
