AbstractPolicy Points Securing access to pathogen samples for research purposes is crucial for pandemic preparedness and responding to infectious disease outbreaks. The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework (PIP Framework) is the only pathogen-specific international access and benefit-sharing (ABS) instrument. This analysis reveals that during an influenza pandemic, the PIP Framework will safeguard access to virus samples but may not be as effective in delivering the associated benefits, like vaccines and antivirals, to countries in need. The PIP Framework's deficiencies must be addressed before an influenza pandemic and before this ABS model is extended to other human pathogens.© 2019 Milbank Memorial Fund.
