Type de matériel :
5
This contribution highlights the structural characteristic of vaccine access during epidemics that give rise to a permanent narrative of exceptionality fueled by socio-political tensions. It starts from the observation of the recurrence of seasonal meningitis epidemics and questions the strategies put in place by public health stakeholders. It advocates the sovereign inclusion of preparedness in epidemic responses and an action plan to strengthen pharmaceutical capacities in the South. It would also be important to re-centralize the vaccination strategy within the prevention paradigm.
