The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative’s overarching goal is to translate scientific discoveries into affordable, globally accessible public health solutions. Much of the knowledge IAVI has gained from working on HIV prevention research can be applied to our efforts on COVID-19. We hear from a delightful dynamic duo: the organization’s Associate Director for Advocacy Policy and Communications (Ethel Makila) and the Medical Director (Dr Vincent Kioi) on some critical lessons learned, while also discussing the challenges that come with advocacy and meaningful capacity-building. We are reminded that our heavy lifts during the COVID-19 pandemic must not mean forgetting our unfinished work on old epidemics. And Ethel and Vincent touch on the preparation that is required for the inevitable challenges ahead.
