Advancing vaccine development for gonorrhoea and the Global STI Vaccine Roadmap Efforts to develop vaccines against Neisseria gonorrhoeae have become increasingly important, given the rising threat of gonococcal antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Recent data suggest vaccines for gonorrhoea are biologically feasible, and vaccine candidates using several approaches are currently in development. The Global sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Vaccine Roadmap provides action steps to build on this technical momentum and advance gonococcal vaccine development. Better quantification of the magnitude of gonorrhoea-associated disease burden and modelling the predicted role of gonococcal vaccines in addressing AMR will be essential for building a full public health value assessment to justify the investment and inform decision making about future vaccine policy and programs.
