Delphi study outlines consensus recommendations among global pandemic experts, highlighting whole-of-society coordination and a vaccines-plus approach to mitigate COVID-19.

Key Points

To establish multinational, multidisciplinary consensus recommendations across key societal and healthcare domains to resolve the ongoing public health threat posed by COVID-19.
Convened a multinational Delphi panel comprising 386 experts from academic, healthcare, government, and non-governmental organizations across 112 countries and territories.
Developed and iteratively scored consensus statements across six domains: communication, health systems, vaccination, prevention, treatment and care, and inequities.
Generated 41 consensus statements and 57 actionable recommendations, with the highest-ranked calling for whole-of-society approaches and a 'vaccines-plus' strategy combining vaccination with public health prevention and financial supports.
Identified near-unanimous support (≥99% combined agreement) for measures to improve clear communication, rebuild public trust, and engage communities, alongside six specific recommendations that met >5% disagreement.
