The evolution of vaccines: global and African perspectives in the pharmaceutical industry

Abstract

One of the greatest contributions to public health has been the development of vaccines, which provide immunity to infectious diseases and save millions of lives every year. The development, manufacturing, and distribution of vaccinations have been greatly aided by the global pharmaceutical industry. The environment of the sector has clearly changed in the last few years, particularly with regard to Africa. With an emphasis on the function of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), this article examines the perspectives that are emerging in the pharmaceutical industries in Africa and around the world.
