Abstract：The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework for Sharing Influenza Viruses and Access to

Vaccines and Other Benefits aims to promote the acquisition of influenza virus strains and the sharing of
influenza virus benefits among WHO member states. The current operation of the framework has the following
problems: delays in obtaining influenza viruses，insufficient benefits of influenza viruses available，loopholes in
the regulation of influenza virus gene sequence data，and overlapping conflicting applications with other legal
documents. In this regard，in order to propose a more feasible solution，WHO should play an important
coordinating and organizing role in global health governance，improve the text content of the framework
document，coordinate the legislative governance of WHO member states，and strengthen cooperation with other
international organizations to promote the solution of the coordinated application of the framework and the
Nagoya Protocol of the Convention on Biological Diversity on Access to Genetic Resources and Fair and Equitable
Sharing of Benefits from their Utilization.
