Perspectives on future new vaccine introductions in Ethiopia

Abstract

The pace of development of new vaccines is accelerating more than ever before. In the next few years, we should expect at least a doubling of the 20-odd vaccines available to date with forays in the hitherto uncharted fields of parasite and fungal vaccines (1). In 2005, WHO registered 22 vaccines available for routine immunization programs and foresaw 20 new or improved vaccines by 2015
