Antibiotic-resistant infections are directly associated with over 1.2 million deaths per year. Without intervention, the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will only continue to grow. Vaccines are our greatest tool against evolving public health threats like AMR. If rolled out for all 23 evaluated pathogens in recent World Health Organization research, vaccines could reduce the number of antibiotics needed by 22% every year, and save one-third of the hospital costs associated with AMR. #WAAW #AMR https://lnkd.in/g37jBnY9

A recent study from Health Affairs examines the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act’s prescription drug price setting on post-approval R&D, a critical driver in the fight against cancer. Did you know? For nearly 9 out of 10 (89%) approved cancer medicines, additional clinical trials were initiated after the initial approval to explore new uses. In fact, more than half of all cancer medicine indications were approved after that first FDA approval. This post-approval research is essential for unlocking new treatment options for patients.? ? Health Affairs’ findings add to the growing body of evidence detailing the IRA’s unintended consequences. We know what’s wrong with the law. Now lawmakers need to fix it.?https://lnkd.in/gAq-P65A
