This publication provides an in-depth analysis of antigens critical to addressing local public health needs and serves as a blueprint for policymakers, researchers, and manufacturers to enhance vaccine production capabilities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. By focusing on regional priorities, this guidance aims to catalyze discussions and initiatives that will bridge significant gaps in vaccine accessibility across the continent. please read the paper by accessing the link https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2025.126829
