This includes learning fromthe effi cacy of vaccine candidates in clinical development, establishing much-needed markers and correlates of immune protection thatwill help to identify the next generation of vaccine candidates, and laying the groundwork for the licensure and distribution of new TBvaccines.In March 2012, the Stop TB Partnership’s Working Group on New TB Vaccines published <strong>Tuberculosis</strong> vaccines: a strategic blueprint. Thischarts the future course of TB vaccine research and is intended as guidance for researchers, regulators, advocates, donors, policy anddecision-makers, among other stakeholders. The blueprint outlines the major scientifi c challenges and priorities, critical activities andcrucial questions that need to be addressed to develop life-saving TB vaccines in fi ve key priority areas:■ Creativity in research and discovery. The major question to be answered is why certain individuals infected with M. tuberculosis areresistant to TB disease.■ Correlates of immunity and biomarkers for TB vaccines. Here, the focus is on identifying correlates of immunity for TB vaccines.■ Clinical trials: harmonization and cooperation. The main question to be addressed is whether TB vaccines can effectively reduce thetransmission of M. tuberculosis.■ Rational selection of TB vaccine candidates. This priority area tackles the challenge of having all developers of vaccines agree tostandardized criteria for the selection and development of novel TB vaccines.■ The critical need for advocacy, community acceptance and funding. Here, the emphasis is on innovative approaches to mobilizingfunding for TB vaccines.The blueprint is designed to initiate a renewed, intensifi ed and well-integrated international effort to develop TB vaccines that will have asignifi cant impact on global TB control.The complete blueprint, including relevant opinion editorials, is available at http://www.stoptb.org/wg/new_vaccines/88 GLOBAL TUBERCULOSIS REPORT 2012
