Rotavirus vaccine product switch in Ghana
Ghana introduced rotavirus vaccine (ROTARIX 1-dose presentation) into the routine national immunization program in 2012 and switched to a different product (ROTAVAC 5-dose presentation) in 2020. ROTAVAC has a lower price per dose (US$0.85 versus US$2.15 for ROTARIX) and smaller cold chain footprint but requires more doses per regimen (three versus two). This study estimates the supply chain and service delivery costs associated with each product,…

The malaria vaccine has been piloted successfully in Ghana. Intensive advocacy; community engagement, and social mobilization; and regular onsite supportive supervision are critical enablers for successful introduction of new vaccines. Stakeholders are convinced of the feasibility of a nationwide scale up using a phased subnational approach taking into consideration malaria epidemiology and global availability of vaccines
Sex differences in perceived risk and testing experience of HIV in an urban fishing setting in Ghana

One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis and immunisation can prevent poliomyelitis. Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) surveillance, is used to documents the presence or absence of wild polio-virus. An in-depth review of AFP data in the Eastern Region was undertaken to assess the progress towards interrupti…
