The news that Africa is gearing up to produce its own vaccines could not have come at a better time.

To use Raila Odinga’s words, Africa producing its own vaccines is a great step in the right direction. This would not only delink us from writing good literature on the noble innovations of vaccines only done by Western countries on our dissertations but would enable us to expeditiously solve eminent medical problems amicably without looking to the West as has become the norm.
