Abstract:
The need for enhanced local vaccine production in Ghana has become increasingly critical, particularly in the wake of global health challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and other emerging zoonotic, neglected infectious and noncommunicable diseases respectively. The Ghanaian government's partnership with international organizations such as the Deutsche Gesellschaft f?r Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the European Union (EU) underscores a commitment to bolstering vaccine production capabilities. This paper explores the purpose, foundations, and methodologies of the vaccine production initiatives in Ghana while outlining the career opportunities for Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) professionals. The analysis emphasizes the critical roles veterinarians play within the One Health framework, the expected outcomes of increased vaccine production, and the mindset preparedness necessary for DVM students to excel in this evolving field.
