Overview:

Antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global public health threat. Prevention tools, such as vaccines, are an effective tool to slow the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance and to save lives in the United States and around the world. Vaccines can help prevent infections from happening in the first place, thereby reducing use or misuse of antibiotics. Vaccines can also reduce infection duration or severity and reduce transmission of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. That’s why CDC and partners are committed to driving innovation to develop and deploy vaccines to help slow the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. 

 

What you will learn: 

  • How vaccines can help slow the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance and can protect human health.  

  • How CDC is working to understand the potential impact of new vaccines through population-based surveillance and electronic health record data analyses characterizing the burden of key healthcare-associated pathogens.

  • How vaccines can help combat the threat of antimicrobial resistance around the world, including through incorporation of vaccination strategies into antimicrobial resistance National Action Plans.
