          Introducing New Vaccines into the South African National Immunisation Programme – a Case Study

          Elsevier, Vaccine Journal, Volume 30, Supplement 3, 7 September 2012.

          The South African Immunisation Programme was the first in Africa to introduce hepatitis B and  Haemophilus Influenzae type b vaccines respectively in 1995 and 1999. A decade later three new vaccines (against rotavirus and pneumococcal infections, and IPV in a combined vaccine) were introduced simultaneously in 2009. All these initiatives were realised with own financial resources (no donor-support for a middle-income country). After implementation of the respective vaccines, an “Experience Exchange Meeting on the Introduction of New Vaccines” was held in Pretoria, South Africa (28-30 July 2010) with the participation of eleven African countries. During this meeting, the idea matured that the unique South African experience should be put to record; in that way all countries of the world could benefit from lessons learned and challenges related to this major public health intervention.

          This lead to the publication of a supplement with 14 chapters in “Vaccine” Journal in 2012: “Introducing New Vaccines into the South African National Immunisation Programme – a Case Study”. The supplement was developed as a collaborative effort between the South African Vaccination and Immunisation Centre – SAVIC (at the University of Limpopo, South Africa) and the Network for Education and Support in Immunisation – NESI (at the University of Antwerp, Belgium).

                Hepatitis B ranks among the greatest health concerns globally, with over two billion people having evidence of exposure and at least 250 million people being chronic hepatitis B virus carriers. The public health significance of hepatitis B virus infection is frequently underestimated, as it takes many years for its complications to appear.

                This issue of the Southern African Journal of Epidemiology and Infection addresses the public health aspects of childhood vaccination programmes in South Africa and Belgium, with a focus on hepatitis B vaccination.
