Made in Africa mRNA Vaccines: A talk with Dr. Petro Terblanche of Afrigen Biologics & Vaccine

Ben recently sat down with Dr. Petro Terblanche, the head of Afrigen, Africa’s first mRNA vaccine researcher and manufacturer. From the calamities of COVID-19 vaccine populism, the African public health community & its allies swore that never again would Africa be last in the line when it came to life saving pandemic vaccines, and Petro sets out how this can - and is - being achieved, notwithstanding a wide array of challenges - and opposition. https://www.afrigen.co.za https://medicinespatentpool.org https://www.who.int/initiatives/the-mrna-vaccine-technology-transfer-hub https://www.gavi.org https://cepi.net//home-page #mRNA #vaccines #access #equity #platformtechnology #mRNAhub
