The SMTA 2 is one component of the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework’s Benefit Sharing System. This video animation explains what the SMTA 2 is, how it is negotiated and how it is implemented in the event of a pandemic.

The World Health Organization, through the implementation of the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework, is working to help countries prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. The SMTA 2 is a contract concluded between WHO and entities such as manufacturers and research institutions. In exchange for receiving pandemic influenza virus materials, these entities make commitments under the SMTA 2 to share with WHO some of the benefits arising from their access to the materials, so that when the next pandemic strikes countries in need will have better access to vaccines and other life-saving products.
