New modeling suggests that over the next 25 years there is a 50% probability of a pandemic occurring, with a mortality level similar to or worse than COVID-19. The latest volume of the Disease Control Priorities (DCP-4) series, published by the World Bank, focuses on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. Please join authors of the volume to discuss findings at this special event, co-sponsored by the Bay Area Global Health Alliance, Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health, and UC Davis Center for Global Health. Reception to follow.
