Rethinking Access: Perspectives on Local Vaccine Manufacturing in Africa
Africa remains overwhelmingly dependent on imported vaccines, a vulnerability that was made glaringly clear during recent global health emergencies. With over 99% of vaccines still sourced externally, the continent faces urgent questions about sovereignty, equity, and preparedness.
This one-hour webinar, hosted by Zihi Institute as part of the CHReaD conversation series, brought together policymakers, vaccine manufacturers, advocates, and global health partners to explore what it will take to build a thriving vaccine production ecosystem in Africa—from financing and technology transfer to regulation and market shaping.
Join us as we reflect on the powerful insights shared and continue charting a path toward a more self-sufficient, resilient, and equitable vaccine future for the continent.
