VISTA legacy
ASAVI laid the foundations for VISTA.
The Australian Strep A Vaccine Initiative (ASAVI) was a valuable and productive partnership between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI). Established in 2019 with a landmark A$35 million investment from the Australian Government's Medical Research Future Fund, ASAVI built the foundations to enable accelerated vaccine development to occur in Australia.
The work of ASAVI continues under a rebranded VISTA. The Kids continues to lead the work independently as VISTA led by The Kids in partnership with our strategic partners.
We remain committed to accelerating the development of safe and effective Strep A vaccines to benefit populations most affected by Strep A.
Thank you to MCRI, our partners, and the children, families and communities who took part in ASAVI.
