Mission

The Meningitis Vaccine Project's mission is to eliminate meningitis as a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa through the development, testing, introduction, and widespread use of conjugate meningococcal vaccines.

Objectives

• To develop meningococcal conjugate vaccines that are appropriate for use in Africa
• To create pathways for the licensure of vaccines
• To assure production in sufficient volume at a price that facilitates wide use in Africa
• To monitor the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines in controlled clinical trials
• To investigate innovative ways to finance the procurement of vaccines through local, country, and other global programs
• To introduce the vaccines through mass and routine immunization in synergy with other public health programs.
