Ghana will pilot a Pregnancy Registry in early 2026 to monitor vaccine safety among pregnant women and their babies.
The initiative, under the Maternal Immunization Safety Monitoring Programme, will track adverse events from vaccinations.
It will be led by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with implementation by the Dodowa and Kintampo Health Research Centres.
Pregnant women in health facilities within the catchment areas of the two research centres will receive vaccines and be monitored for safety during pregnancy and after delivery.
